China King Oyster Mushroom" refers to king oyster mushrooms, scientifically known as Pleurotus eryngii and called 杏鲍菇 (xìng bào gū) in Mandarin Chinese. These mushrooms are a popular ingredient in Chinese cuisine, prized for their thick, meaty stems and earthy, savory flavor, which is reminiscent of abalone or scallops. They have a versatile texture that makes them a great addition to stir-fries, salads, and other dishes, offering a satisfying plant-based alternative to meat.
