Current FactsAbout Portabella Mushroom

There’s a lot of confusion around Portabella mushrooms, so we’re here to clear it up.

Portabella mushrooms are the larger, earthier, and mature version of the common mushroom that belongs to the Agaricaceae family. They grow individually in the grass, near manure piles, and on leaf litter near conifers like Monterey cypress trees in the northern hemisphere.

There is some debate on whether the name should be spelled Portabella or Portobello, but both versions are accepted as the name was created as part of a large marketing campaign in the 1980s.

Portabella mushrooms are one of the top cultivated varieties and are favored by both professional and home chefs for their dense, meat-like texture and rich, earthy flavor.

Nutritional Values Of Portabella Shroom

Portabella Shroom Applications

Portabella mushrooms are best suited for cooked applications such as broiling, sautéing, and grilling. They are extremely versatile and can be grilled whole to make a vegetarian burger or hollowed out and used as a pizza crust or bowl for other fillings. They can also be chopped and mixed into soups and stews, baked into pasta or rice dishes, sliced into salads, minced into a filling for a mushroom strudel, or chopped and cooked in an omelet. The caps are the part that is predominately cooked and consumed as the stem can be fibrous and woody, but the tough stem can also be used to add flavor to stock. Portabella mushrooms pair well with balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs such as oregano, rosemary, thyme, or cilantro, marinara sauce (tomato sauce), spinach leaves or leafy greens like kale; tomatoes; goat cheese; mozzarella cheese; cream-based sauces like Alfredo sauce (butter); garlic cloves; onions. They will keep 7-10 days when stored in a paper bag in the refrigerator.

Portabella Mushroom Ethnic/Cultural Info

If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy your favorite mushrooms, Portabella mushrooms are a great option. They’re one of the most popularly cultivated mushrooms, and account for approximately ninety percent of mushroom production in the United States. Despite their popularity today, Portabella mushrooms were once a highly unfavored mushroom due to their brown color and large size. In an effort to increase sales in the 1980s, marketing companies coined the term Portabella and reintroduced them as a healthy meat alternative with great success. Today Portabella mushrooms grow stacked in specially designed rooms with controlled temperature, humidity, and fresh air to meet the increasing market demand. They propagate with the assistance of agar, grain spawn, and pasteurized substrates, and are marketed in both specialty health stores and supermarkets across the United States.

Portabella Shroom Geography/History

Portabella mushrooms are native to Italy and have been growing since ancient times. The first record of the mushroom was from French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort in 1707, and they were then heavily marketed in the 1980s at natural health food stores. Today Portabella mushrooms are widely available at farmers markets, specialty grocers, and supermarkets in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Portabella mushrooms are a good source of fiber, potassium, copper and selenium—and they’re also low in calories! They’re great for adding bulk to meals without adding a lot of extra calories or sodium like many other vegetables do (like potatoes for example).

You can use portabellas in place of ground beef if you’re craving something hearty like spaghetti and meatballs but don’t want all of the fat from ground meat. Portabellas make a great substitution if you’re trying to cut back on your red meat intake because they have a similar texture to meat but are much lower in calories than beef so there’s less room for error when cooking with them!

How to grow a Portabella Mushroom

The portabella mushroom has a rich history. It was first discovered by civilizations around the world, who figured out how to grow mushrooms. The earliest description of the commercial cultivation of Agaricus bisporus was made by French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort in 1707.

But there was a problem: when they transplanted the mushroom, it would often get infected.

Then in 1893, sterilized, or pure culture, spawn was discovered and produced by the Pasteur Institute in Paris , and this assured that you could grow a consistent good white mushroom.

The original mushroom Agaricus bisporus was brown like a crimini or portobello but in 1926 a Pennsylvania mushroom farmer discovered this strain that was bright white—and thus preferred by consumers at the time. Brown mushrooms didn’t sell so those nasty crimini and portabella were considered culls and tossed or taken home by the growers!

Then in 1980 or so when Whole Foods stores became popular (and more people started caring about eating healthy), some ingenious marketer discovered that there was now a market for these darker of the species
