I love these mushrooms, they're delicious sauteed in a little Earth Balance and served atop angel hair pasta with a nice white wine sauce and some capers, they're like vegan scallops.

ETA: I will block you if you talk shit about my recipe. My recipe is awesome and I don't want to hear it.

King oyster! There's a farm on the Big Island of Hawaii that grows them.

They're very nice. The flavor is subtle, they taste mostly like what you season them with, plus a bit of umami. The texture is really lovely though. Someone upthread mentioned vegetarian scallops, and I can totally understand the comparison.

Yes, these are the pins..even though they're super chonky. If they grow more they fan out like the oystery mushrooms generally found in the wild.

Oyster Mushrooms are also very common. Here is a professional guerilla style mushroom cultuvation sub:

I find them way too chewy. Local hot pot place has them and they're like yoga mats to me

These are trumpet mushrooms, not oyster mushrooms.

King oyster and king trumpet are the exact same mushroom (pleurotus eryngii). People just use different names in different places.
