Mushroom Varieties


		White Mushrooms (Agaricus) (Agaricus bisporus) DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR: Varies in color from creamy white to light brown and in sizes from 3/4" to 3" in diameter Pleasingly mild and woodsy; flavor intensifies when cooked. In the US Whites are commonly harvested before they mature so the veils do not open underneath the cap. These mushrooms have a more delicate flavor then the mature mushrooms. When the mushroom matures the veil will open or separate under the cap. Mature Whites, with open veils and darkened caps, develop a richer, deeper taste. SHELF LIFE: Try to use fresh mushrooms within a couple of days from purchase. White mushrooms remain fresh 5-7 days. Keep refrigerated in paper bags. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: * Use raw as an hors d'oeuvre, or garnish in salads and on vegetable trays. * Sauté, braise or grill to enhance entrees, soups, sauces and stuffings. * Marinate or saute and serve as a side dish. * Stuff with just about anything for a classic, easy to eat appetizer.
