Scientific Name: Agaricus bisporus
Did you know that Portobello Mushrooms are the matured versions of Button Mushrooms? As a matter of fact they really are! Native to Europe and North America, Button Mushrooms can grow up to 6 inches in diameter and thus becoming the Portabella Mushrooms. But why have a different name where in fact this is all along the Button Mushroom? There are many answers though but i could say one believable answer is that these mushrooms are usually found on the edges of the Portabella Road in London. The Portabello Mushroom has larger gills compared to the younger (Button Mushroom) ones. The cap tends to be browner in color, larger and a has a rough texture.
There are several ways to cook Portabello Mushrooms. You can grill them with salt and a bit of olive oil brushed on both sides or bake them with meat and vegetable stuffing. Well these are only two of the many recipes in cooking this mouthwatering mushroom :)
