Edible mushrooms are fleshy fungal growths that can be found in the wild or cultivated in mushroom farms. Some varieties of mushrooms are not safe for consumption, but you can safely enjoy a wide range of fresh, delicious mushrooms from our farmers' markets. There are quite a few mushroom varieties available at your farmers' market:

Button: These are delicious raw in salads but develop a richer flavor when cooked.

Porcini: Valued for their interesting flavor and dense, meaty texture.

Morel: A highly sought-after mushroom with a rich, nutty flavor. Their hollow caps are great for stuffing.

Chanterelle: These are popular for their delicate, peppery flavor and beautiful color.

Oyster: Smooth texture and subtle, oyster-like flavor.

Cremini: Closely related to button mushrooms, but with a more earthy, robust flavor.

Portobello: A larger version of the cremini, perfect for grilling and roasting.

Shiitake: Known for their meaty texture and rich, earthy flavor.
