white mushroom
Pale edible fungus
White mushroom is the common cultivated mushroom sold in most grocery stores, with a pale cap and mild flavor.
It's the same species as cremini and portobello mushrooms, just harvested at an earlier stage.
White mushrooms are versatile in cooking—eaten raw in salads, sautéed, or added to sauces and soups: Slice the white mushrooms and add them to the stir-fry.
