King oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus Eryngii) is also known as king trumpet, French Horn mushroom, Eryngii, king brown mushrooms, boletus of the steppes, trumpet royale and Ali’I oyster. This mushroom is native to Mediterranean regions of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and is also cultivated in many parts of Asia. Cooked king oyster develops a rich umami flavor and meaty texture. As such, king oyster is commonly used as a meat substitute in many vegan recipes.
Studies have shown that king oysters contain chemicals that stimulate the immune system. Consumption of king oyster may function as a cholesterol-lowering dietary agent.
