Michigan’s Finest Mushrooms of Spring Lake
Pink Oyster Mushroom – has a taste similar to bacon or ham, which is intensified when cooked. Try some in an omelet with goat cheese. Beyond great taste these mushrooms also have medicinal benefits regarding immune system response.
Italian Oyster Mushroom – a meaty mushroom with a nutty flavor. Works well with a good steak.
All oyster mushrooms are a good source of protein, fiber, potassium, vitamin B6 and folate.
Will also have dried Maitake (hen of the woods).
Thanks,
George
