Pleurotus columbinus

A tier

Pleurotus columbinus is often treated as a blue-leaning oyster closely related to ostreatus—cool blue-grey caps, tender flesh, mild flavour. Taxonomy debates aside, cooks use it as blue oyster. Cook as blue/grey oyster; high heat. Species/variety label for precision sourcing. Excellent mixed-grill mushroom component.
