#2059 - Pleurotus australis - Southern Oyster Mushroom

The spotty upper surface is not the natural state - it's severely moulded. The underside was even worse.

In fact, most of the mushrooms we saw on the island over the weekend were hopelessly infected. The heavy rain really wasn't helpful.

A large and handsome gilled mushroom, often found growing from the trunks of trees in Australia and New Zealand where it feeds on the dead or dying heartwood.

Often infested with the larvae of sunflies (Tapeigaster sp.) whose adult males will have punch-ups over prime fungal real estate.

FOTD #042 : pink oyster! (pleurotus djamor)

the pink oyster mushroom is a fungus in the family pleurotaceae. it is most commonly found in mexico, indonesia & places with similar climates !!

the big question : can i bite it?? YES :-) this fungus is edible & delicious. it is used in asian cooking. despite its choice edibility, it is rarely sold due to its 24h shelf life.

p. djamor description :

"the pink oyster mushroom, unsurprisingly, has a pink color. it has a curly cap which is 2 – 5 cm in diameter. the caps are also quite thin. the gills are long & pronounced. the stem is very short or even non existent."

ПЕЧУРКИ: Здравствени придобивки

Шампињони (Agaricus bisporus fam. Agaricaceae)

Шампињоните се најчесто користени печурки. Тие содржат фитохемиски супстанции корисни за превенција од рак на простатата.

Во научни студии спроведени на стаорци, забележано е дека шампињоните имаат и хипогликемиска и хиполипемична активност, т.е. ја намалуваат концентрацијата на гликоза, холестерол и триглицеридите во крвта.

 Буковка (Pleurotus ostreatus fam. Pleurotaceae)

Според една научна студија, како најпотентна за супресија на пролиферација на ракот на дојката и ракот на дебелото црево ја издвоиле буковката.

 Вргањ (Boletus edulis fam. Boletaceae)

Студиите покажуваат дека вргањот има антипролиферативен ефект на ракот на дебелото црево.

Полисахаридите на вргањот имаат антиинфламаторен ефект и биле тестирани кај глувци со асма, при што е забележан позитивен ефект.

 Шитаке (Lentinula edodes fam. Marasmiaceae)

Студиите покажуваат дека при користење на шитаке во исхраната се зголемува имунитетот и се намалува инфламацијата.

Pleurotus ostreatus, Basidiomycota

As stated before, I am not particularly familiar with the regnum fungi, but it’s about time I learn more, so, if I’ve done my homework correctly, in the photos above you can see a nice cluster of Grey Oyster mushroom, which is edible and present throughout the year in the UK. 

Although these are some of the most common mushrooms you could find and I was pretty confident with my ID, I still didn’t want to try my luck and collect them for dinner, in case I woke up the following morning intoxicated and with a failing liver...better safe than sorry! If anybody could confirm I was right, then I might feel brave enough to try them next time I see some!
