What are button mushrooms?
Button mushrooms (or white mushrooms) are the most common variety of mushrooms and can be found at most any grocery store or market. Varying in size, they can be small or over an inch in diameter.
For this sautéed mushrooms recipe, smaller and more uniform in size mushrooms work best because each mushroom will be bite-sized, but all whole button mushrooms will work.
Types of Mushrooms
Did you know? White mushrooms are actually the same variety of mushrooms as crimini and portobello. Crimini mushrooms are left to grow a little longer than white mushrooms.
This gives them their rich color and flavor, while portobellos, like those used in our Baked Portobello Mushrooms recipe, are grown the longest to become large and dense with a meaty flavor.

How to Cook Mushrooms with Garlic Butter

White Button Mushroom Recipe Tips:
- To get your mushrooms ready for cooking, you’ll need to rinse them, making sure any dirt is cleaned off. Rinse again, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Make sure the mushrooms are completely dry when you begin cooking! This will help get the edges crispy and will ensure your mushrooms don’t end up soggy.
How to Store Mushrooms
Fresh mushrooms can be stored in a brown paper bag in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Can Raw Mushrooms Be Frozen?
We don’t recommend it. Just freezing them raw could result in the mushrooms becoming mushy once thawed.
Can Cooked Mushrooms Be Frozen?
If you sauté them first and then freeze, you can put them straight into your recipes from frozen. Once cooked and cooled, you can add them to Ziploc baggies with the date and freeze the mushrooms up to 8 months.
They are so convenient to have on hand! Use your handy frozen recipes with mushrooms to add to soups, stews, and sauces.
