Cremini (or Brown) Mushroom Guidelines

Far West Fungi manager Ian Garrone describes what you should be looking for when buying a brown mushroom, whether you should eat the stem, and what the underside “veil” of the mushroom means.

That was fantastic -- I learned a lot.

I am, however, surprised that the expert neglected to mention that cremini mushrooms are baby portobellos.

Maxmillion:
He owns a mushroom store, for crying out loud. "Baby portabellos" lends nothing to the picture since they taste nothing like them and they can't be "ripened off the vine"...

What do you think?
