Mushroom Recipes FAQs
Button mushrooms, or white mushrooms, are the most common variety of mushrooms and can be found at almost any grocery store or market. Varying in size, they can be small or over an inch in diameter.
White mushrooms are actually the same variety of mushrooms as crimini and portobello. Crimini and portobello mushrooms are left to grow a little longer than white mushrooms.
This gives them their rich color and flavor, while Portobello Mushrooms are grown the longest to become large and dense with a meaty flavor.
Fresh mushrooms can be stored in a brown paper bag in the refrigerator for up to five days.
We don't recommend it. Just freezing them raw could result in the mushrooms becoming mushy once thawed.
Absolutely. I love making a large batch and keeping them in the freezer to add to some of my favorite dishes. Once cooked and cooled, you can add them to Ziploc baggies with the date and freeze the mushrooms for up to 6 months. They are so convenient to have on hand! Use your handy frozen recipes with mushrooms to add to soups, stews, and sauces.

Thanks so much! We love cooking with mushrooms. Let us know what you think when you try it!
Rose says
Made this for dinner and it was very good. Only one thing I would say is not to salt the mushrooms until after they have carmelized. Salting before they brown up a bit makes them watery.

We are so glad you enjoyed it, Rose! Thank you so much for your comment!
