Pleurotus ostreatus, the oyster mushroom, is a common edible
mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence
measure during World War II and is now grown commercially around
the world for food. Oyster mushroom is called as "king oyster
mushroom." Oyster mushrooms can also be used industrially for
mycoremediation purposes. The oyster mushroom may be considered a
medicinal mushroom, since it contains statins such as lovastatin
which work to reduce cholesterol. Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.)
grows wild in forests of hilly areas in northern Pakistan. These
are collected by local people for eating and selling purposes. The
sun-dried mushroom is sold in metropolitan departmental stores.
Only a few species of Oyster mushroom have been commercially
cultivated. It is rated high in taste, amino-acid composition and
keeping quality.
