In an autumn community garden, a wheelbarrow holds oyster mushrooms collected during the harvest. Next to the wheelbarrow, a compost bin and a garden shed form part of the garden environment.

Fascinating Facts About Oyster Mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms often grow in shelf-like clusters on decaying hardwood trees or moist plant waste. Gardeners sometimes cultivate them using compost or wood chips because these fungi break down organic material efficiently. In nature, their fan-shaped caps absorb nutrients rapidly after rain showers.
