Mushrooms are great in so many different dishes from soups to stir fry's. I prefer to use a variety of them , but most often find myself reaching for Cremini. I find them to be the easiest to use and most versatile.
When at the market, look for mushrooms with firm, unblemished skin. Leave the ones with damp, soggy or withered appearances. Mushrooms should have an earthy, pleasant scent. When possible, mushrooms are a food that should be bought organic, as the skin is being eaten.
Another important tip is to check the base and make sure that the cap is tight around the stem, without cracks that expose the dark brown , velvety , accordion patterned material underneath. There are lots of different kinds of wigglers, dirt and other "miscellaneous bits" that can get caught in there, so its more sanitary when choosing cremini or button mushrooms to find them with a tight cap and stem.
Happy cooking :)
