White Clam Shell Mushrooms

White Clam Shell Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus var. albidus) are a variety of oyster mushrooms known for their delicate, fan-shaped, white caps that resemble the shape of a clam shell. These mushrooms have a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a tender texture that becomes silky when cooked. They are often found growing in clusters on decaying hardwood and are highly valued for both their culinary and nutritional benefits.

White Clam Shell mushrooms are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and essential minerals like potassium and iron. They also contain antioxidants, which support immune health and overall well-being.

These mushrooms are versatile in the kitchen and can be sautéed, stir-fried, added to soups, or used in pasta dishes. Their subtle flavor and texture make them a great addition to many meals, making them popular among chefs and home cooks alike.
