Yellow Oyster Mushrooms (aka Golden Oyster Mushrooms)

Fresh Yellow Oyster Mushrooms from the "big red barn" in Amherst.

Bright, Nutty & Delicious

Yellow Oyster mushrooms are as pretty as they are tasty. Their delicate, sunny color adds a pop of brightness to your dishes, while their mild, nutty flavor works well in quick sautés, tacos, or stir-fries. They cook quickly, so they’re perfect for busy weeknight meals.

Why Yellow Oyster Stands Out

Their light texture means they crisp up nicely on high heat. They’re a fun choice for adding color and gentle mushroom flavor without overpowering your dish.

Fun Fact: 

Oyster mushroom mycelium can trap, kill, and digest nematodes to access nitrogen locked in wood, and this unique ability is being explored as an eco-friendly way to control harmful nematodes that damage plant roots
