Portabella 

Agaricus bisporus

Portabella Mushrooms were first brought to America during the 20th Century but were originally found in Italy. The name Portobello is from unknown origins but has many fun stories. Literally, the name means beautiful door. However, some think it is named for a road in London England that sells fancy things. A single Portabella mushroom can contain more potassium than a banana.


Oyster

Pleurotus ostreatus

It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food. Then was soon brought to America. Oyster mushrooms grow on and near trees in subtropical and temperate forests of the world. As wood decomposers, they often grow on logs and dead-standing trees.


White Button

Agaricus bisporus

White Button mushrooms were first found in France in 1707 but were later discovered growing naturally in America in 1925. The most popular type representing 90% of mushrooms consumed in the US is the White button mushroom, its spores are so tiny that 2,500 arranged end-to-end would measure only an inch in length.


Porcini

Boletus edulis

The name porcini means “piglets” in Italian. Porcini mushrooms are fairly common in the northern hemisphere and were first discovered in Italy but were later found in America as well. Porcini mushrooms form a mycorrhizal relationship with pine trees, which means they have a symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants.
