About this product
The white button mushroom you know from the supermarket grows at home from compost under a thin layer of casing soil. It likes it cool: a pantry or an unheated room is ideal.
Freshly picked buttons taste nothing like shop-bought: firmer and more aromatic. Raw in salads, in stews, sautéed; they go everywhere.
Taste and texture: Familiar and mild; firmer and more aromatic when freshly picked.
