About Oyster Mushrooms
As is true with all fungi, oyster mushrooms can usually be found growing on dead or decaying wood. The most active growing seasons for oyster mushrooms are in spring and fall. The caps of these mushrooms are large, capable of growing up to 10 inches in diameter. When the oyster mushroom is young the cap is flat, but a
s it ages the cap turns up. These mushrooms are colorful, and can be found in white, yellow brown, tan and pink or a combination of these colors. Oyster Mushrooms and Cholesterol
On the March 23 episode of "Dr. OZ," Dr. Mehmet Oz recommended the consumption of oyster mushrooms to lower cholesterol levels. He suggested individuals with high cholesterol eat a half cup of oyster mushrooms per day. You can eat them cooked or raw and experience the same effects. Consuming oyster mushrooms can decrease cholesterol levels naturally, which can potentially reduce the need for prescription medication. Oyster mushrooms contain statins, which are typically taken in drug form to lower "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. Statins wake up receptors in the liver, which take in cholesterol to pass it through the liver much more readily to rid the body of cholesterol. While oyster mushrooms are effective in lowering cholesterol, those suffering from the condition should not reduce or cease the use of their cholesterol medication without consulting with their doctor.
