Angel Wings

Pleurocybella porrigens

This longstanding edible mushroom has been much maligned in recent years, due to a disaster that occurred in Japan, where a number of people with kidney disease sat down to a meal together, and ate a repast which featured Angel Wing mushrooms. A number of the people who ate the meal died in the ensuing days - though it has never been shown that the mushrooms were the cause of the deaths (the mushrooms were not the only food that the victims had in common). Because of this, many people have shied away from eating this mushroom, in spite of the opinion of many experts that the mushroom is generally safe, as much as any other mushroom.

We eat this mushroom. It has never harmed us.

Angel Wings are distinctly different than Pleurotus Oyster mushrooms. Though both are referred to as Oysters, Angel Wings are a different genus than other Oysters. They do not attach to the logs or stumps they grow on with a stem - instead, the side of the mushroom attaches in a semi-circle to the wood, and the mushroom grows UPward, instead of OUTward. It is also thinner, and rufflier than a Pleurotus Oyster mushroom.

They dry very well, and reconstitute easily. Medicinal uses for this mushroom have not been well documented.

We carry Angel Wings spawn in our Mushroom Store.

International

Our cart is not currently set up to calculate international shipping. For international orders, please email us with a list of items you wish to order, and the country you need them shipped to. We will return a shipping quote, and send you a PayPal invoice to complete the order process. Not all items are available for international shipping (heavy items are too costly). We currently ship ONLY dried mushroom spawn and spore prints internationally.

NOTE: INTERNATIONALLY SHIPPED DRIED MUSHROOM SPAWN IS SHIPPED IN PLASTIC BAGS, AND NOT IN METAL TINS, TO ENSURE FEWER PROBLEMS IN CLEARING THROUGH CUSTOMS.
