White Mushrooms
Mild, earthy, and slightly nutty, with a firmer bite than more delicate mushroom varieties.
Lens analyzedWhite mushrooms, also called button mushrooms, are the mild, young form of the common cultivated mushroom, sold whole, sliced, or in pieces. Their firm texture and mild flavor make them an easy addition to almost any savory dish.
Where it comes from
Commercial mushroom farming scaled up through the 20th century using the same species harvested young for its pale color and mild taste, which is why button mushrooms remain the default mushroom on most grocery shelves.
Buying it
Choose mushrooms that are firm, dry to the touch, and closed underneath the cap, since an open cap signals they're aging. Avoid any that feel slimy or have dark, wet patches.
Storing it
Store them in a cool, dry part of the pantry inside their original vented packaging, since sealed plastic traps moisture that speeds spoilage. They soften and darken quickly no matter where they're kept, so check them often and use them up soon.
Keeps about 7 days in the fridge.
