Electronic waste is a burgeoning problem which poses several environmental and health risks. Earlier this year, it was estimated that 5.3 billion phones would be discarded in 2022. Despite the existence of e-waste recycling regulations across the world, devices that reach the end of their lifecycle often end up in landfills, leaching toxic chemicals into the soil.

The researchers say one key area of future study must be how to ensure the cultivation process yields homogenous, smooth mycelium skin for consistent results.

HOW TO COOK OYSTER MUSHROOMS

As a delicate mushroom, Oysters are best cooked in a dry saute. Begin by chopping off the “heart” of the Oyster Mushroom cluster (where all the stems come together) and coarsely chop up the caps and stems. Cook them up in a skillet over medium high heat until all their water releases and simmers off, then add your fat of choice and season with salt and pepper, adding fresh garlic cloves if you desire. Their texture is smooth and they have a slight seafood flavor, though some people find they have a subtle hint of anise. Overall, the flavor is mild and nutty, which makes them very agreeable in a variety of dishes. Fresh Oyster mushrooms are great in pasta, stir fry, soup, egg and fish dishes. They’re also delightful as a side dish on their own.
