Mushroom, White

White mushrooms are small, round, and smooth with a pale white to light beige color. They have a mild, slightly earthy flavor when raw, which intensifies and becomes more savory when cooked. These mushrooms are incredibly versatile, commonly used in soups, sauces, salads, stir-fries, and as a topping for pizzas or meats. Their firm texture holds up well during cooking, and they absorb flavors easily, making them a staple in both simple and complex dishes. White mushrooms can be sautéed, roasted, grilled, or eaten raw, offering a subtle umami depth to a wide range of culinary applications.
