when they are crisply cooked, a strong, appealing
cashew-like flavor eventually develops. This progression
of flavors, primarily affected by the duration of cooking, underscores the Golden Oyster
mushroom's versatility as an esculent.

mushrooms. When strains of this mushroom are over-cultured, the golden color is one of the first
features to be lost. The brightness of the gold cap color is directly related to the intensity of light in the
growing room. A high temperature tolerant mushroom, primordia will not below 60-65° F. (16-
