For its small size, Button Mushrooms pack some big flavour. Button mushrooms are the most common and mild-tasting mushrooms available. They should be firm to touch, with no softness or tears. Avoid dried ones that have yellow or brown spots, since they may contain fungal spores that can affect the flavour. Serve these mushrooms off the stem for extra flavour, rather than on top of your dish. They are versatile for both fresh and cooked applications, which means you can use them in everything from salads to soups, stir-fries, pizzas, sandwiches, and main entrees.
