Store Mushrooms

Crimini Mushroom

This Crimini mushroom came from the grocery.  It is much different in the cap color and size.  It is otherwise similar to the White mushroom to be shown later.

Crimini Mushroom

It has a veil covering the gills.  Eventually it would pull loose to allow fruiting.  This mushroom is harvested before fruiting.

Crimini Mushroom

As it matures, the gills will enlarge while the veil will mostly go away.

White Mushroom

I found out that the Crimini and White Mushrooms are cousins.  Except for the size and cap color they appear identical to me.

White Mushroom

This mushroom is also harvested early in its life cycle while the veil is still in tact.

White Mushroom

The story inside is similar.  You can see the gills, only starting to develop.  Both mushrooms are fleshy, i.e., they have lots of mushroom matter under the cap, making them ideal to eat.
