| Description: | The button mushroom, also called the table mushroom, white mushroom, common mushroom, cultivated mushroom, and called champignon de Paris in France, is one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms in the world. Note that while this specific mushroom is sometimes called simply champignon in the English-speaking word, this word means "mushroom" in general in French.
Most grocery stores in the Western world sell this mushroom in canned and fresh preparations. An agaric, its gills are often left on in preparations. It can be found cooked on pizzas and casseroles, raw on salads, and in various forms in a variety of dishes.
Button mushrooms are fairly rich in vitamins and minerals. The mushroom contains an especially high amount of vitamin B and potassium. Raw mushrooms are naturally cholesterol, fat, and sodium free. The mushrooms also have very low energy levels — five medium-sized button mushrooms added together only have 20 calories.
