Oyster mushroom, or oyster oyster, or oyster mushroom is an edible mushroom of the genus oyster oyster family.
Oyster mushroom fruit bodies are a valuable dietary product because they have a low calorie content (38-41 kcal) and contain many substances necessary for the human body.

In terms of protein content (15-25%) and the composition of amino acids, including essential ones (valine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, phenylalanine), oyster mushroom surpasses all vegetable crops, except legumes, and is close to meat and dairy products. The proteins of oyster mushroom fruit bodies are characterized by high digestibility, which increases to 70% as a result of heat treatment, which corresponds to the digestibility of rye bread proteins.

The fat content in the fruit bodies of oyster mushrooms is low (2.2 mg per 100 g of dry mushroom weight), 67% are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oyster mushroom is a natural source of statins (lovastatin) that inhibit cholesterol synthesis.

Carbohydrates in the fruit bodies of oyster mushrooms make up 68-74% of the dry weight, of which the proportion of easily digestible carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose) is 14-20%. Beta-glucan (lentinan) polysaccharides isolated from oyster mushrooms have a high antitumor and immunomodulatory effect; mannitol and chitin, which are part of the fiber fraction, are an effective sorbent of toxic substances.

Among the minerals contained in oyster mushrooms are potassium, phosphorus, iron, as well as calcium, cobalt, selenium, zinc, copper and a number of other elements necessary for the human body.

Oyster mushroom is an excellent source of both water—soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, comparable to meat products, vegetables and fruits. The fruit bodies of oyster mushrooms contain the whole complex of B vitamins, as well as ascorbic acid, vitamin PP (5-10 times more than in vegetables), D2, E.
