button mushrooms

Common salad fungi

Button mushrooms are the small, white, commercially cultivated variety most common in grocery stores.

They have a mild flavor and firm texture, eaten raw in salads or cooked in countless dishes.

Left to mature, they become cremini mushrooms, then portobellos—the same species at different stages: Add sliced button mushrooms to the stir-fry.
