White Mushrooms
White Button Mushroom
Recognizable by its classic mushroom shape, the White Button features a short, thick stem and a smooth white cap. A closed veil covers its dark gills, indicating freshness. With a fairly mild flavor, it easily blends with
most ingredients, and its taste deepens when cooked. Exceptionally versatile, White Button mushrooms are ideal served fresh in salads or cooked, sautéed, or roasted—for use in pasta, pizza, and countless other dishes.
Brown Mushrooms
Crimini Mushroom
Similar in shape to the White Button, Crimini mushrooms feature a light tan to rich brown cap and a firmer texture. Their veil may be closed or beginning to open, revealing dark gills beneath. Criminis offer a deeper, earthier, and heartier flavor than White Buttons, with exposed gills adding even more richness. Their full-bodied taste pairs exceptionally well with beef, poultry, and a variety of vegetable dishes.
Portabella Mushroom
A mature relative of the Crimini, the Portabella features broad tan to brown caps that can reach up to 6 inches in diameter. The veils are fully open, exposing the dark gills beneath. Known for their deep, meaty flavor and firm texture, Portabellas are ideal for grilling, broiling, or roasting. Their hearty quality makes them perfect as an entrée, appetizer, or flavorful side dish.
Exotic Mushrooms
Shitake Mushroom
With broad, tan to dark brown caps and open veils that reveal pale gills, Shitake mushrooms also have thin, curved stems that are best removed if fibrous. They develop a firm, meaty texture and a rich umami flavor with woodsy undertones when cooked. Shitakes add depth and satisfying texture to soups, sides, stir-fries, and entrées, which shine especially in bold, flavorful Asian dishes.
Oyster Mushroom
Available in a range of colors—including gray, blue, pink, and yellow—Oyster mushrooms feature fanned, flat caps that grow in clusters around a dense, off-center stalk, with open gills lining the underside.
They offer a delicate texture and a mild, subtly briny flavor. For a hearty presentation, sear large clusters whole “chicken under a brick” style for a juicy, steak-like entrée, or tear into smaller pieces and sauté for irresistibly crisp edges.
Maitake Mushroom
Also known as “Hen of the Woods,” Maitake mushrooms feature delicate, rippling gray-brown caps that cluster around a central stem, resembling a flurry of feathers. They offer a rich, woodsy, and earthy flavor with a succulent texture. Cook whole for a striking presentation or tear into smaller pieces to suit any dish. Sauté in butter or oil until the delicate edges reach a crisp, golden finish.
Every case we deliver to you is full of fresh mushrooms of the highest quality, mushrooms that Buona Foods is proud to put our name on!
