The Foodie’s favorite kinds of mushrooms:

White (or button mushrooms) – are the most commonly seen mushrooms. You can purchase the mushrooms whole or sliced at most supermarkets or specialty food stores. They have a firm skin which makes them perfect for stuffing or slicing up for a fresh garden salad.
Portobellos – are perfect for a meatless burger option due to their beefy nature, and they are the largest of the mushrooms.
Shiitake mushrooms – have a smoky woody flavor. My first memorable experience with shiitake mushrooms was at the knife skills class I took at Whole Foods. They were fun to slice and up, and delicious in the stir fry my fellow classmates created.
