Cultivated Mushrooms
Cultivated mushrooms are edible fungi grown intentionally under controlled conditions rather than gathered from the wild. They include familiar varieties such as white button and cremini mushrooms as well as specialty varieties such as shiitake, oyster, maitake, lion's mane, and king oyster mushrooms. Different varieties range from delicate and mild to rich, earthy, meaty, or slightly nutty in flavor, with textures ranging from tender to firm and substantial.
Mushrooms are valued for their savory, umami-rich flavor and ability to absorb and complement other ingredients. They can be used as a main ingredient or to add depth and texture to soups, sauces, grains, vegetables, meat dishes, and more.
