portobello
Large brown cap
A portobello is a large, mature cremini mushroom with a broad, flat cap and dense, meaty texture.
Portobellos are often grilled or roasted whole and served as a vegetarian main course: a portobello burger, stuffed portobellos.
The name emerged in the 1980s as a marketing term for what had been common brown mushrooms.
Also spelled portabella or portabello.
