How to choose
Choose firm, dry caps without sliminess or dark soft spots. Different varieties bring different textures: button for everyday, shiitake and porcini for intense savour.
Prep & storage
Brush or briefly wipe clean rather than soaking, as they absorb water. Cook in a hot, uncrowded pan so they brown and release their moisture instead of stewing.
Nutrition
Low in calories yet rich in B vitamins, selenium and potassium; sun-exposed mushrooms also provide vitamin D.
Classic flavour partners: garlic, thyme, butter, cream, soy sauce, parsley
