The thickest-stemmed of the oyster mushrooms, it is grown for its firm stalk rather than its cap; cut into thick slices and seared it gives a scallop-like texture. In the wild it grows on the roots of eryngo in Mediterranean grasslands.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
