I like to use marinated button mushrooms for this salad because it is the most common mushroom and it has a nice mild taste. But if I happen to have a jar or a can of other mushrooms in my pantry, I will use those. And, they work just as well. Marinated Cremini, Oyster, Porcino, sliced Portobello, Chanterelle, and even marinated Shiitake mushrooms work great!
