ELM OYSTER

The Elm Oyster mushroom is commonly mistaken for a traditional oyster mushroom but is actually of a completely different genus than pleurotus. The distinguishing difference between the two genus is the fact that the Elm Oyster mushroom gills are not decurrent, meaning they do not reach all the way down the stem. Though some regard the Elm Oyster mushroom to be tougher than a traditional oyster mushroom they are still sought after in the culinary world as they provide an excellent source of protein, fiber, and vitamin B.
