Cremini mushrooms

Although they belong to the same species as button mushrooms and go by the name "baby Bella mushrooms", they are collected at a later stage of growth. They are meatier and tastier than their younger counterparts because they have had more time to mature. Because of this, many people frequently choose cremini over button mushrooms (however, if you're not a fan of mushrooms, the converse may be true for you).

These mushrooms may be used in most recipes that call for mushrooms because they are so flexible. If you prefer eating things raw, you can put them in a salad, but sautéing, roasting, or grilling them gives them a completely another flavor. And if you're looking for the ideal mushroom for a rich, flavorful risotto, you might have found it in the cremini.
