My kids and hubby made jokes about it but they thought it was fine.

Once you have this small grow under your belt, you really should grow them for market. Especially considering no one is selling them. You could corner the market. Now there are other oyster mushrooms that produce greater quantities, but the beauty of Golden Oyster can not be outdone.

Their strong nutty flavor make them great for large dishes because their flavor goes a long way. To get the same impact from let's say a phoenix oyster mushroom, you would need twice as much in your dish.

Ok, I'm hungry now.
