champignons
Common cooking mushrooms
Champignons is the French word for mushrooms, used in English primarily on menus and in culinary contexts to sound more elegant: champignons sautéed in butter, cream of champignon soup.
The term typically refers to common white button mushrooms rather than exotic varieties.
