One of my favorite “grown in Hawaii” products at Costco is Hamakua Mushrooms. Sold in an 8 oz. container, the Pleurotus eryngii (a.k.a. King Trumpet Mushroom, King Oyster Mushroom, or Ali’i Oyster) is the largest of the oyster mushrooms. Not only are they beautiful (look at that picture above!), but they taste great when cooked and are quite popular among vegetarian and vegan recipes.

Cooking King Oyster Mushrooms

These mushrooms have a “meaty” texture and hold up well when cooked in a pan. They can look a lot like scallops when the stems are cut into smaller pieces. Check out this recipe from Style Preservation for their King Oyster Mushroom Toast.
