Crimini mushrooms are similar in shape and appearance to white mushrooms, to which they are related. Coffee colored and richer in flavor and nutrients than the more common white button mushroom, crimini mushrooms are available throughout the year.  These mushrooms have a dense, earthy flavor.

While mushroom can be cultivated, they can also be found growing wild in many regions of the world

Crimini mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked, and can be substituted for white mushrooms in any recipe.

The portobello also called portabella is really simply a brown crimini mushroom in disguise. Evidently the usage of the two words "portobello vs. portabella" is simply an issue of a marketing brand. Once the little brown crimini grows up to be about 4" - 6" in diameter he is deemed to be a portobello
