How to pick out white button mushrooms
A distinguishing feature of white button mushrooms is brown gills underneath their white caps. If you're picking up your mushrooms, look out for young pieces with no signs of damage or bruising to them.
Since fresh mushrooms have a limited shelf-life of three to four days, try freezing, canning, and drying methods to extend their shelf life without sacrificing nutritional quality. You can eat these mushrooms fresh, dried, fried, or raw. If you have dried mushrooms, you can rehydrate them by soaking them in water.
White button mushroom cooking tips
One of the reasons why white button mushrooms are so successful in the kitchen is that you can use them in almost any recipe, opening up a world of possibilities. They keep flavor well and are much more adaptable in the kitchen than other wild mushrooms.
When cleaning them, remember that too much time in water runs the risk of making them mushy. So clean them with just a quick rinse or damp cloth. Pat them dry before cooking to ensure a crispier and firmer result when cooking. For storage, they last longer in your fridge than any other type of mushroom.
