Buttons

Botanical name: Agaricus bisporus Common name: Champignons Buttons are the youngest and generally (but not always) the smallest. The name refers to their shape and stage of growth, not the size. The cap of the button mushroom is always tightly closed around the stem. They have a firm, delicate texture and mild flavour that intensifies when cooked. Preparation: There’s no need to wash or peel mushrooms – simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. Usage: Suitable to eat raw or cooked, they’re great whole or sliced in salads, stir-fries, risotto, pizza toppings, pasta dishes , skewered and barbecued or simply served with dips.

Cups

Botanical name: Agaricus Bisporus Common name: Pezizaceae Cups present the next stage of growth. As the veils or caps begin to open around the stems, the mushrooms change from being buttons to cups. The texture is firm but their flavour and colour is more intense than button mushrooms. Preparation: There’s no need to wash or peel mushrooms – simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. Usage: Cup mushrooms can be used whole, sliced, diced or quartered and then cooked to obtain maximum flavour. Known as the versatile mushroom, they’re suitable to all cooking methods and highly rated in soups, sauces and casseroles, they are also ideal for stuffing.
