Dried Italian Oyster Mushrooms

Dehydrated Italian oyster mushrooms, also known as dried Pleurotus pulmonarius, are the dehydrated form of Italian oyster mushrooms. Here's a description: Appearance: Dehydrated Italian oyster mushrooms typically have a lighter color compared to fresh mushrooms, often ranging from pale beige to light tan or cream. They retain the characteristic appearance of Italian oyster mushrooms, with fan-shaped caps and short, thick stems. The texture of dehydrated Italian oyster mushrooms is firm and somewhat leathery, with a brittle consistency that makes them easy to break apart. Texture and Flavor: Once rehydrated, dehydrated Italian oyster mushrooms regain some of their original texture, becoming tender and pliable. They offer a concentrated version of their fresh counterpart's flavor, with a mild, slightly sweet taste and a delicate, earthy flavor profile. The aroma of rehydrated Italian oyster mushrooms is savory and mushroomy, adding depth to dishes without overpowering other flavors.
