💭 What Are The Best Mushrooms To Cook With?

Grocery stores as well as farmer's markets sell so many edible mushroom varieties. Some of them have a milder flavor, while others pack a flavor explosion.

Here are some of the most popular mushroom varieties that you can find in stores:

1. Portobello (Cremini mushrooms) - have a mild taste and are suitable for all recipes involving mushrooms.
2. Button (White mushrooms) - have a similar flavor profile as Portobello mushrooms. Suitable for any vegan mushroom recipes.
3. Shiitake mushrooms have a woodsy and earthy flavor, more intense than in Portobello and Button mushrooms. Only caps are usually consumed and stems are perfect for making mushroom broth.
4. Oyster mushrooms have a delicate aroma and savory flavor. In Asian cooking, Oysters are mostly used for soups, stir-fries, or sauces. In addition, their wavy texture and mild taste makes them perfect for grilling and sautéing in olive oil or vegan butter.
5. Porcini - one of the most aromatic mushroom varieties. It's very difficult to find them in a raw form, so most grocery stores sell dried Porcini. Soaking and thorough cooking of Porcini are necessary before consumption.
6. Morels - often found in spring, these funky-looking mushrooms are rich in flavor and suitable for salads, soups, or stir-frying with some soy sauce.
7. Chanterelle mushrooms have a very rich, slightly fruity flavor. Most often found in grocery stores in the fall. Chanterelles are delicious in such vegan mushroom recipes as Stroganoff, fried mushrooms with potatoes, or soups.

Note, that you can easily interchange mushrooms in any of the vegan mushroom recipes below.

If a recipe calls for Portobello mushrooms, but you have Shiitake or Oyster mushrooms, use them in a recipe instead.
