Oyster mushrooms are super good for you, and have some of the most fiber of any edible mushrooms. When cooked on a skillet, they become soft and soak up the seasonings you use. This results in a tasty side dish that’s low carb and healthy! We love how nicely browned and tender these mushrooms cook up.
