King oysters look similar to regular oyster mushrooms that are growing on top of a thick, white stem.

They’re a large mushroom, and normally come 4 or 5 to a tray. They have a very firm meaty texture compared to regular oyster mushrooms.

King oyster mushrooms have a light tan cap with a thick white stem.

How to Purchase: Can be purchased in cello-wrapped trays.
Taste Profile: This stout, thick fleshed mushroom is pleasantly chewy top to bottom and has the advantage of remaining firm when cooked. The flavour contains a delicate taste of woodsy and sweet.
How to Serve: Rinse lightly in cool water and pat dry just before cooking. Slice the whole mushroom depending on your preference. Adapts well in French, Italian, Mediterranean and Chinese cuisines. It stands up to sauteing, stir-frying, and grilling, becoming golden brown and nicely crisp.
Storage: Keep king oyster mushroom refrigerated in a paper bag for up to 8 days.
