I've never seen oyster mushrooms over here and have never tasted them. I see that the main UK supermarkets sell them but they are very pricy.
I like stews and make them quite often using field (button) mushrooms which must taste quite different to the above. I gather that the texture isn't quite the same neither.
Is the end result sweet or do you add extra stock etc ? I didn't view the YT video as it was too long to watch.
You have to try them, especially this recipe. They are pricey here too, but I think they're worth the money, if not as a treat, perhaps for special occasion.
I also love soups and stews, especially during the colder winter months. I love mushrooms in stews because they really suck up flavour. I really love shiitake mushrooms in stews. Again, they're a bit pricey, but add such amazing flavour. It's the chewy texture I like about them. Oyster mushrooms also have a chewier texture, which in my opinion gives it a meaty like feel.
The ones I bought yesterday would have cost about the same as a high end meat product, like a steak for example. In Canadian dollars they cost me $16, and I had leftovers.

hmmm after that great recipe by @Veganite my paltry dinner sounds sad.... had a tomato cup-a-soup to which I added extra noodles, kale, chili paste, crackers and croutons - and then ate some potato chips

That cake sounds divine!
I'm going to have egg roll in a bowl with seitan as the protein.
I think I'm gonna make more mashed pinto beans, and maybe cornbread, and cole slaw--oh, that's right I don't have vegan mayo
Do I really have to stoop to a vinegar cole slaw? Any ideas?

Make a soymilk mayo. I have, easy. Vegan Mayo Just one recipe idea.
I have too, but to make enough to be able to blend properly makes too much, and it never keeps more than a week.
I don't really want to open a soy milk carton either, having no plans for using the rest. Last time I froze soy milk it didn't thaw well

In France I have never seen Oyster mushrooms in the Supermarche or Hypermarche, however,at farmers markets I have definitely seen them...they won’t be cheap, but they are worth it in my opinion... France has a wide variety of mushrooms growing wild which are highly prized and the fancy cultivated ones are quite popular too...I've never seen oyster mushrooms over here and have never tasted them.

I never go to open air markets as the cons outweigh the pros.
The only mushrooms aside field mushrooms, that I buy are dried morels. The other varieties are way too expensive. I really miss large portabello mushrooms which to my mind are the best ever.
Just goes to show How different we all are... To me the open air markets are So wonderful I can’t even see any cons!I never go to open air markets as the cons outweigh the pros.

There was a very good market every Saturday morning 20 minutes drive down the hill from us, we went every week or occasionally we would drive an hour to Montpellier which has a fabulous market... So much fresh local produce and Many of the stalls were organic!
What I Really dislike about supermarket products is that Most everything is wrapped in plastic! Especially the organic products! Both in California and France the majority of or purchases would be organic... Yes - it is more expensive, however,
everything tastes So much better and it is better for the planet... We would just spend less money on other things, well- except coffee, impossible for us to live in France and not enjoy a delicious espresso on a sunny cafe terrace...
Pineapple and jalapeno pizza. I forgot to get jalapenos so I will go out again later.
nachos last night - two full cookie sheets, one each, with blue corn tortilla chips, Gardein mince/ground burger with onions, spices and half a can of black beans, sliced cherry tomatoes, green onions, black olives, shredded cheez, pickled jalapeno slices on top and the last wee bit of argula (hafta go shopping soon, it has been a couple of weeks)

My beautiful salad. I need something for protein though. Not sure what that will be yet.
If that were my salad it would have dried cranberries, or other fruit and walnuts!
I had a Beyond Burger with a slice of Violife, and lots of sauteed mushrooms and onions on the side
