[Image: pleurotus-ostreatus.jpg]

Quote:Commonly known as an oyster mushroom, the name of this species comes from Latin: pleurotus meaning "sideways", and ostreatus relating to its similarity to the oyster bivalve (possibly its taste as well). This species is edible. First cultivated by Germany for sustenance during WWI, it is now cultivated world-wide. Due to its prevalent culinary uses, other names include píng gū in Chinese, nấm sò or nấm bào ngư in Vietnamese, and chippikkoon in Malayalam.

Wikipedia provides a fairly comprehensive description of the uses and prevalence of Pleurotus ostreatus, including its potential for lowering cholesterol, and its use in "mycoremediation", as termed by Paul Stamets.

Also included in the article was the link for this TED talk:
