Characteristics

The queen oyster resembles the common oyster mushroom, although its stem is less eccentric. Its coloration ranges from dark grey to pale grey, with white gills. The stem tends to be fibrous, but the cap texture is very delicate.

Gastronomy

Its strong flavor makes it suitable for a wide range of preparations: it is delicious grilled or seared, but also excellent when sautéed. It has a very pleasant fungal aroma that can even be used to infuse oils. It pairs wonderfully with meats, fish, and is spectacular with all kinds of vegetables.
It also holds up well in stews, thanks to its resistance to long cooking times.
