Portabella/Crimini (Agaricus bisporus)
This one of those eatable mushrooms we normally see and get in the market/supermarket. The Portabella mushroom is one of the tastiest mushrooms ever grown. It is very versatile in its uses. When harvested young in the button stage it is called a crimini and can be used in the same way as the regular white button mushroom. When harvested as a mature mushroom, with the gills exposed, it is called a Portabella. One of the nicest features of the portabella is its thick cap. The cap on a portabella is probably twice as thick as the cap on a white button mushroom. This unique feature makes this mushroom a meaty and wonderful mushroom to cook with. Portabella caps can grow as small as 3-4 inches across to as large as 5-8 inches across, with the average size being 4-5 inches in diameter. These thick caps when cooked can taste similar to eating meat and is often used as a meat substitute!
