King Oyster Mushrooms

King oyster mushrooms, also known as king trumpet mushrooms or eryngii (scientific name) "Pleurotus eryngii" do not ressemble your American oyster mushroom. Instead they have thicker stems and smaller brown caps.

In South Korea, they are grown in glass bottles.

King oyster mushrooms contain reasonably high levels of vitamin B
in the form of Riboflavin (vitamin B2) 18.5% DV and Niacin (vitamin B3): 40.3% DV. As such they play a role in the metabolism of food and contribute to the immune system. Their mineral content also provides small to medium levels of minerals for well-being.

As with other mushroom varieties, king oysters contain a high level of water - 88%.

Potential benefits of king oyster mushrooms include
- improving blood sugar levels
- feeling "fullness" levels
- lower LDL cholesterol levels

In Pradejon, in the heart of La Rioja Spain, lies an office called Fungiturismo. Constructed with the purpose of promoting mushroom cultivation, the guide takes you through the history and process of mushroom growing.

Pradejon grows over 30% of Spain's mushrooms.

Taking the varieties of button, oyster, shiitake and king oyster (Pleurotus eryngii), you learn about the different techniques and differences of how to grow these fascinating varieties. The latter for example is grown in jars as opposed to bales.

Combining a talk, videos and story boards, you get the full picture of how important mushroom cultivation is to the area. Boasting to have the second lowest unemployment rate in the country, it was noticeable that over 50% of the town's population were also immigrants, namely Moroccans.

In addition to having the Funguturismo office and " a mushrorom route by bicycle"" to promote the world of fungi in the area, the town also holds "Fungitur" in the first weekend of May.

Book your place and get Pilar to show you around in English or Spanish. See https://www.fungiturismo.com/ .
