This was my first try of oyster mushrooms. Upon opening the bag, I found they have a pungent odor at first a little off putting. It's apparently supposed to smell like that. They are a strong woody flavor plus something else I cannot describe. The texture is is squishy like rehydrated mushroom, which I love. The bag is really chock full of mushrooms and I'm hoping it's not a lot of stems because those are inedible as I have just learned. The stems are very fibrous and no amount of soaking will make them easy to chew. I cooked all the moisture out of them after soak, with garlic, shallots and salt I didn't want to over power the flavor. These absorb flavors nicely. Oddly, they are described as tasting a bit like oyster but I didn't think so. Maybe if they are fresh they do.
Overall, I'm sold. A new fan of oyster mushrooms. Delicious!
I'm going through different varieties of these "dry" produce. I started out with a wild variety package and discovered a lot of wood mushrooms, ( they never get tender, no matter how long you cook them. ). So, they're not edible AND a waste of money. That's were I started my journey on buying individual species. These are great, you just have to cut off the base after they are rehydrated to cook longer then the other two thirds. The flavor is very mild.... Perfect for delicate broth soups.
I have used various dried mushrooms for many, many years. These are by far, the WORST that I have ever used. I soak mine overnight to soften and to develop a wonderful gravy. Then, I slow cook the dried mushrooms with fresh mushrooms, season and it always comes out perfect and is a hit in my home. NOT THE CASE WITH THESE! No matter how long they cook, they are rubbery, chewy and inedible. The flavor is fine, but the texture is horrendous. I actually picked out the dried mushrooms one by one in my finished gravy because I did not want to be embarrassed serving this garbage dried mushroom junk to my guests. It took an hour to do this, but I would do it again to avoid serving this horrible product. Never again!
This is very good quality oyster mushroom, the flavor is mild and good, it’s not as strong as shiitake mushroom so it’s very easy to use it in hot and cold dishes. After soak in water for an hour, they expended to pretty good size, so I sliced them and use them for stir fried vegetables and in soups. I will purchase them again and recommend to others.
