What to do when you have a lot of fresh mushrooms?
I always tend to have mushrooms in the fridge for those times when I crave my favorite Creamy Mushroom Soup, or just want to make some pizza or Balsamic Mushroom Bacon Pasta.
If you happen to have a lot of mushrooms in your hands, freezing them when still uncooked is an option, but I don’t recommend it. When thawed, mushrooms tend to get mushy and watery.
You can freeze cooked mushrooms more successfully in an air tight container for up to 2 months.
Simply sautee the mushrooms with garlic and butter, let them cool to room temperature and freeze.
If you like marinated mushrooms, these are loaded with flavor and taste amazing on their own or can be added to party platters for a fancy appetizer. Marinating mushrooms can preserve them for up to 10 days, if kept in the fridge.
Are Button, Crimini and Portobello mushrooms the same mushroom?
The button or white mushroom, the crimini or brown mushroom, and the portobello mushroom are the same mushroom.
Agaricus bisporus is an edible mushroom native to grasslands in Europe and North America.
It has two color states while immature—white and brown—both of which have different names.
This mushroom is commonly sold under the name portobello mushroom (also portabella or portobella).
When immature and white, this mushroom may be known as common mushroom, white mushroom, button mushroom, cultivated mushroom, table mushroom, and champignon mushroom. When immature and brown, it may be known variously as Swiss brown mushroom, Roman brown mushroom, Italian brown mushroom, cremini/crimini mushroom, or chestnut mushroom.
