Pink Oyster mushrooms are small to medium in size with caps averaging 2-5 centimetres in diameter and are attached to short or non-existent stems, growing in layered clusters. The thin caps are smooth, finely lined and are intensely pink when raw, changing to an orange-brown when cooked. The edges of the cap also begin flat and curl with age, almost curling into a tube shape. Underneath the cap, there are many soft, short, deep pink gills that connect down into a very short stem. Pink Flamingo oyster mushrooms are meaty and chewy in texture, despite their thin flesh and have a pungent, seafood-like aroma. When raw, these mushrooms have a sour taste, but when cooked, they develop a mild, woody flavour that readily takes on the flavours of accompanying ingredients.
