Stir-fried mixed mushrooms

For this dish, I used Eryngii mushrooms and fresh chinese mushrooms. Eryngii mushrooms share similar nutritional and medicinal properties with members of the oyster (mushroom) family:

The oyster mushroom is high in protein (15-27 % per dry mass), contains 85-100 mg of vitamin C per 100 g and is a good source of niacin, folic acid and potassium. Clinical studies have shown that the oyster mushroom naturally produces Lovastatin, a drug commonly used in the treatment of high blood cholesterol. It has also demonstrated strong anti-tumoral [Ying(1987)]activity specifically for the intestinal tract[Zusman et al.(1997)].

Here’s the pic of the mushrooms:
