Good quality Oyster mushrooms should be firm, smooth and wrinkle free with bright white gills (The under side of the cap). Cap colour can vary considerably from almost white to a dark brown, this is dependent on temperature, lighting and location within the growing sheds.

Size should not be used as an indication of quality.
