King Oyster Mushroom Toast

Intrigued by the beautiful Hamakua Mushrooms from the island of Hawai’i that are sold at my local Costco, I have been buying them for the past year. My favorite way to eat them is on King Oyster Mushroom Toast.

Easy and delicious, this can be cooked and prepared in a matter of minutes. Read on for more information about the King Oyster Mushroom, ingredients, and cooking instructions.

King Oyster Mushroom

Pleurotus eryngii is known by several names. It’s sometimes called King Oyster Mushroom, King Trumpet Mushroom, or Ali’i Oyster.

It is the largest of the oyster mushrooms, and it has a “meaty” texture. When cutting it, you will notice that it is not delicate and will not easily fall apart. When cutting the stems, the pieces look like scallops.

The locally grown mushrooms sell at our Costco for $5.79 for an 8 oz container.

Make it Vegan Friendly

If you are a vegetarian who eats dairy, this recipe will work for you. If you don’t eat dairy, you could try preparing it with a vegan butter like the one from Miyoko’s, which is sold at Whole Foods.
