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.

Benefits of Mushrooms
Benefits of Mushrooms
Antioxidants
The heroes of cell preservation. Fresh mushrooms contain a powerful antioxidant called L-ergothioneine and it is found in both raw and cooked mushrooms
Anti-Cancer Benefits
Recent research suggests that mushrooms may have powerful anti-tumour activity, for both breast and prostate cancer
Immunity
A strong immune system helps protect against infections from bacteria and viruses
Key Nutrients
A half-cup serving of cooked sliced mushrooms has a mere 14 calories, virtually no fat and 1 gram of fibre. Mushrooms are the only vegetable that contains Vitamin D naturally
Weight Control
Fresh mushrooms are a perfect choice for low energy-dense diets, as they have high water content, are low in fat, and contain some fibre; three factors that will help keep you feeling full with fewer calories
