CRIMINI

Crimini A.K.A.: Romans, Brown
Flavor and Texture: light and slightly woodsy flavor: meaty, dense texture.
Description: dark brown exterior cap with a beige interior. Notes: this is a good all-purpose mushroom, but a little meatier and more interesting than the normal cultivated button mushroom. The crimini is a young portabella. It belongs to a special class of mushrooms that have tubes instead of gills under their caps: the tubes are imbedded in a spongy layer.
