Chanterelles are famous for their gorgeous golden yellow color and their floral, fruity, peppery flavor. This type of mushroom is great with eggs, salads and in ramen or soups.
Creminis are baby portobellos. They are mild, light brown and more mature than white button mushrooms. Creminis can be used in all sorts of dishes too.
Enoki mushrooms have uniquely long stems and little caps. They look like bean sprouts and are favored in Asian cuisine.
Maitakes (also called Hen of the Woods) are prolific in northeastern regions of the U.S., as well as in Japan. “Maitake" means “dancing mushrooms” in Japanese. This mushroom has a delicate, flowery flavor and the advantage of holding its shape when roasted whole.
Morels are highly prized and found in the spring and fall. Look for them dried if you miss the few weeks when they are available fresh. Morels have a rich, smoky, forest-like taste. They also have a chewy texture and tend to be quite expensive.
Oyster mushrooms, pale gray in color, are quite delicate and often used in stir fries or sautés.
Porcinis (also called cèpes or King Boletes) are found in the spring and the fall, have a rich, intense, meaty-mushroomy flavor and are excellent on top of pasta dishes.
Portobellos are large, mature white button mushrooms with fully grown caps. They are mild with a meaty texture and taste great grilled or stuffed and baked.
Shiitake mushroom is meaty, savory and has a big umami punch. Used in soups and sauces, it can be sautéed or roasted.
Wood ear mushrooms are popular in Asian cuisine and prized for their crunchy texture. You may recognize them from hot-and-sour soup.
