Phoenix Oyster Mushrooms

Pleurotus Pulmonarius 500g tray

Phoenix oyster mushrooms caps are smaller and paler in colour than regular mushroom oyster caps, trending toward white. The Phoenix often grows a longer stem than other varieties of oyster mushrooms.

In studies, these mushrooms have displayed properties that may halt the progression of diabetes, slow the proliferation of some cancer cells, and disrupt tumour cell adherence. 

Taste Profile

Phoenix oyster mushrooms have a delicate, nutty flavour with a velvety texture that some describe as "meaty."
