"Pleurotus ostreatus, the oyster mushroom, is a common edible mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food."- Wikipedia. This means it must have been brought here as it is not naturally found in Singapore.
