Everything about Pleurotus Eryngii totally explained

Pleurotus eryngii (also known as king trumpet mushroom, king oyster mushroom) is an edible mushroom native to Mediterranean regions of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, but also grown in parts of Asia.(External Link) In Chinese, it's called xìng bào gū (lit. "almond abalone mushroom"), cì qín gū (lit. "stab celery mushroom"), or cì qín cè ěr (lit. "stab celery side ear"). In Japanese, it's called eringi (katakana: ).
   It is the largest species in the oyster mushroom genus, Pleurotus, which also contains the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. It has a thick, meaty white stem and a small tan cap (in young specimens). It has little flavor or aroma, and when cooked its texture is similar to that of abalone.
   The mushroom has a good shelf life. It was introduced to Japan around 1993 and has become popular there,(External Link) and is now cultivated and sold commercially in Australia.
   Its species name is derived from the fact that it grows in association with the roots of Eryngium campestre or other Eryngium plants (English names: 'Sea Holly' or 'Eryngo').
