What it is
White mushrooms are the common, cultivated variety of the *Agaricus bisporus* mushroom, grown indoors in controlled environments. They are harvested when young and firm, before the cap fully opens. Mushrooms are fungi, not plants, and are grown on composted organic matter.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use white mushrooms for their savory, umami flavor and meaty texture. They are commonly found in a wide range of dishes, including pasta sauces, frozen meals, pizzas, and as a standalone vegetable side dish. They can also be dried and powdered to create mushroom seasoning.
Health notes
White mushrooms are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of B vitamins, selenium, and potassium. JECFA has evaluated mushrooms and did not specify a numerical ADI. No significant health concerns are associated with consuming white mushrooms at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
White mushrooms are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
