Question: are cremini and chestnut mushrooms the same?
Answer: Chestnut Mushrooms. A Chestnut Mushroom is the same mushroom as White Button Mushrooms, but it is a strain that grows just a bit browner instead of white, giving it a tan-coloured top. They are very much like Cremini Mushrooms and about the same size. They have better flavour and texture than the plain white mushrooms.
