Nutrition/medicinal information:

As well as being a generally good source of protein, fibre and nutrients such as vitamin D, some studies conducted in the 1990s showed that oyster mushrooms naturally produce lovastatin which is a drug that has been used in the past to treat high cholesterol.  (Gunde-Cimerman etal., 1995, 1999), (Bobek et al., 1998)
