Pink Oyster mushrooms, known scientifically as Pleurotus djamor, are strikingly vibrant fungi with ruffled, bright pink caps that grow in dense, cascading clusters. They have a delicate texture and a slightly fruity aroma when raw, which transforms into a rich, smoky flavor when cooked. These mushrooms are especially popular in stir-fries, sautés, and quick-cooked dishes, as their thin flesh cooks rapidly and crisps up nicely. Because of their bold color, Pink Oysters add visual appeal to any plate, though the hue fades with heat. In addition to their culinary appeal, they are a good source of protein, B vitamins, and immune-supporting compounds.
