7 Common Types of Mushrooms and How to Use Them in Recipes

Button Mushrooms

Mild and versatile, sauté button mushrooms in garlic butter for a quick side dish or toss them raw into salads for crunch.

Cremini (Brown)

Earthier than buttons, cremini mushrooms shine in creamy risottos or roasted with thyme for a hearty flavor boost.

Shiitake

With a smoky taste, shiitake mushrooms elevate stir-fries—remove stems and simmer caps in soy sauce for umami depth.

Portobello

Meaty and large, grill portobello mushrooms as burger patties or stuff with cheese and herbs for a vegetarian main course.

Oyster

Delicate and velvety, oyster mushrooms pair perfectly with pasta—sauté with olive oil and lemon for a light, flavorful dish.

Chanterelle

Golden and nutty, chanterelles sing in creamy sauces; cook them low and slow with shallots for a gourmet touch.

Porcini

Rich and intense, dry porcini mushrooms rehydrate for soups or risottos, infusing recipes with a deep, woodsy essence.
