Read each recipe carefully for recommendations. But in most cases, you can use almost any type of mushroom. Each variety has its own flavor and texture. For example, portobello mushrooms are great for grilling or stuffing, while shiitakes add a rich, umami flavor to soups and stir-fries. Button mushrooms are versatile and can be used in most recipes, while cremini mushrooms offer a deeper flavor similar to portobellos.
