We get many calls from customers who are curious about the differences between crimini, portobello, and white mushrooms so we decided to explain the difference here. As it turns out, all three of these mushrooms are the same mushroom at different stages of life. Their scientific name is Agaricus bosporus, and it includes portobello, cremini, and white mushrooms.
The difference between these popular varieties of mushrooms is just age. The white mushrooms, those very familiar kitchen staples, are simply the youngest variety. They have been cultivated for that white color and soft texture. In the wild, these mushrooms are usually browner.
The portobello is the most mature of this mushroom variety and is nothing more than a mature white mushroom. They are left to grow for an extended period of time until they have become what you know as the portobello mushroom.
The cremini mushroom is in between these two varieties. It’s a moderately mature version of the white button mushroom, which is why it has a similar flavor. It’s younger than the portobello, but still related, which is why these are sometimes sold as “baby bella” or “baby portobello” mushrooms.
