Shimofuri Mushrooms

A striking hybrid of the king oyster and oyster mushroom, Shimofuri mushrooms—also known as Black Pearl King Oyster—offer the best of both worlds: a rich, savoury depth of flavour and a tender, meaty texture.

With their velvety speckled grey-brown to black caps and thick, juicy stems, they shine in a wide range of dishes, from simple sautés to hearty braises.

Their robust umami flavour, which deepens and enriches the savouriness of the dish making them a favourite among chefs seeking a plant-based centrepiece.

Pan-Seared “Steaks”
• Slice thick pieces and sear until golden and crispy on the edges
• Serve with a splash of soy, balsamic, or miso glaze


Grilled or Roasted
• Brush with olive oil and herbs, then roast or grill until caramelised
• Great as a main or hearty side


Plant-Based “Meat”
• Shred or slice and use in tacos, stir-fries, or sandwiches
• Ideal for vegan pulled mushroom recipes with BBQ or teriyaki sauce


Stir-Fried with Vegetables
• Stir-fry with bok choy, garlic, and ginger
• Their firm texture holds up well with bold sauces like hoisin or black bean


Braised or Stewed
• Slow-cook in soy, broth, or wine for a deep, comforting flavour
• Excellent in Asian-style clay pot dishes or risottos


Mushroom “Scallops”
• Slice the stem into rounds and sear for a tender, buttery bite
• Finish with lemon, garlic, and white wine reduction


Sushi or Ramen Topping
• Thin-slice and marinate, then lightly sear for umami-rich toppings
• Adds a savoury element to brothy dishes


En Papillote (Baked in Parchment)
