Pink oyster (Pleurotus Djamor) mushrooms are a specialty mushroom species that is found growing on hardwood trees in tropical forests across the world including Indonesia. These eye catching mushrooms grow in dense clusters on hardwood trees and have a vibrant pink color with smaller caps ranging from 2" to 5" in diameter. Originally used as a food source in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, pink oyster mushrooms are now not only foraged but are grown commercially. Pink oyster mushrooms get their name from their beautiful pink color. Most commercially grown oyster mushrooms are grown in China however there is an increasing number of small scale mushroom farmers in the United States. With the increased demand from consumers for local healthy food, gourmet mushrooms are fulfilling that demand.
