Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms caps can vary from pale to dark gray, depending on the season. Oyster mushrooms can be green, pink or yellow in color, depending on the species. The fluted caps have a shape similar to an oyster, ranging in size from 4 to 16 centimetres in width. White gills extend from beneath the cap, down a very short or non-existent stem. Oyster mushrooms are soft and have a slightly chewy texture. Wild Oyster mushrooms can develop a slight aroma of anise, cultivated varieties are milder in flavour, featuring a slight seafood aroma and taste.
Shitake
Shitake
Shitake mushrooms pronounced shee-TAH-kay, range in colours from amber to paper bag-brown. Each mushroom has a wide, umbrella shape with a characteristic curled rim. Their caps, growing up to eight inches in diameter, have a cream-colored interior described as supple-firm. When cooked, shiitakes release a garlic-pine aroma and have a rich, earthy, umami flavour.
