Oyster mushrooms are grown in substrate that comprises sterilized wheat, paddy straw and even used coffee grounds, [14] and they do not require much space compared to other crops. The per unit production and profit extracted is comparatively higher than other crops. [15] Oyster mushrooms can also be grown indoors from kits, most commonly in the ...
The 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill was remediated partly by using 1000 mats of human hair collected from Bay Area salons woven into mats, then used to grow oyster mushrooms, helping to absorb the oil. [25] After the 2017 Tubbs Fire in California, oyster mushrooms were grown to help remediate toxic ash run-off. [26]
Oyster mushrooms were used to treat soil that had been polluted with diesel oil. The mushroom was able to convert 95% of the oil into non-toxic compounds. [ 17 ] P. ostreatus is also capable of growing upon and degrading oxo-biodegradable plastic bags; [ 18 ] it can also contribute to the degradation of green polyethylene .

The golden oyster mushroom, like other species of oyster mushroom, is a wood-decay fungus.In the wild, P. citrinopileatus most commonly decays hardwoods such as elm. [2] [3] The first recorded observation of naturalized golden oysters in the United States occurred in 2012 on Mushroom Observer, perhaps a decade after the cultivation of the species began in North America, and they have been ...
[30] [31] In a comprehensive safety assessment of producing vitamin D in fresh mushrooms, researchers showed that artificial UV light technologies were equally effective for vitamin D production as in mushrooms exposed to natural sunlight, and that UV light has a long record of safe use for production of vitamin D in food.

The pink oyster mushroom has a pink color, though there are also white forms. [2] It has a fan-shaped, broadly convex to plane cap which is 2– 5 cm broad and 3-7 cm long, with an inrolled margin. [3] The gills range from light pink to cream, and are 0.5-0.7 μm in width. The stem is white with matted hairs and is very short or non existent. [4]
