Black Pearl Oyster Mushrooms 🖤🍄

**Dark, meaty and ridiculously good.**

Black Pearl Oysters are a hybrid oyster mushroom with the best bits of oyster and king oyster mushrooms rolled into one gloriously chunky package. They develop deep, dark caps and **thick, substantial stems** with a rich, savoury flavour and wonderfully meaty texture.

And don't throw those stems away. **The stalks are every bit as good as the caps.** Slice them into rounds, sear them hard and you've got something with a surprisingly scallop-like texture. Yes, mushrooms can apparently cosplay as seafood. 🐚

Black Pearls are fantastic pan-fried, roasted or grilled and work brilliantly in burgers, ramen, pasta, stir-fries and anything that needs a serious hit of umami.

For maximum flavour, cook them over a reasonably high heat until beautifully browned and caramelised. A little garlic, butter or oil, salt and pepper is often all they need.

Grown in small batches here at Undercliff Shroomery on the Isle of Wight.

**Small batch. Slow grown. Zero nasties.**
