Phoenix Oyster
A tier
Phoenix oysters (P. pulmonarius) tolerate warmer cultivation, with paler caps and soft oyster texture—sometimes sold as Italian or Indian oyster. Mild flavour, fast grower. Cook as soft oyster; good summer farm mushroom. Slightly different species from ostreatus but similar kitchen role. Tear and sear.
