White Mushrooms in Sydney

White mushrooms are the everyday workhorse of Australian kitchens, and the backbone of most mushroom orders. Hawkesbury Valley Mushrooms supplies a full range of fresh, NSW-grown white mushrooms to restaurants, cafes, caterers and grocers across Sydney, the Central Coast and Wollongong.

White Mushrooms

Our White Mushroom Range

Picked at Three Stages, Each With Its Own Job in the Kitchen

Button, cup and flat mushrooms are all the same variety of white mushroom. The difference is when they're picked. As the mushroom grows, the cap opens, the gills show and the flavour deepens.

Stage 1 • Closed Cap

Button Mushrooms

Buttons are picked at the youngest stage, when the cap is still closed tight around the stem. They have a firm, smooth texture and a mild flavour that becomes richer once cooked. Because they keep their shape so well, buttons are a go-to for dishes where you want whole, neat mushrooms on the plate.

Stage 2 • Opening cap

Cup Mushrooms

Cups are the next stage after buttons. The cap has started to open, giving a slightly firmer texture, a little more colour and a fuller flavour. They're the most versatile white mushroom in the range and work raw or cooked across almost every menu.

Stage 3 • Fully open

BBQ Flat Mushrooms

Flats are picked at full maturity, when the cap has opened right out to show the dark gills underneath. They have the boldest flavour of the white range and a dense, meaty texture. Big enough to stuff or grill whole, they can easily be the hero of a plate.

White Mushroom FAQs

  • What's the difference between button, cup and flat mushrooms?

    They are the same white mushroom picked at different stages. Buttons are the youngest with closed caps, cups are partly open, and flats are fully open with exposed gills and the strongest flavour.

  • Which white mushroom should I choose?

    It depends on the dish. Buttons suit salads, soups and sauces where you want neat, whole mushrooms. Cups are the all-rounder for everyday cooking, raw or cooked. BBQ flats are best for stuffing, grilling and burgers, and sliced mushrooms save prep time on pizzas, stir-fries and pasta.

  • Can you eat white mushrooms raw?

    Yes. Button and cup mushrooms are often sliced raw into salads. Cooking brings out a deeper, more savoury flavour.

  • Are white mushrooms good for you?

    Yes. White mushrooms are naturally low in fat, sodium and kilojoules, and bring savoury flavour to a dish without taking it over. When exposed to UV light, mushrooms also produce vitamin D, making them one of the few non-animal sources of it.

  • How should I store white mushrooms?

    Keep them refrigerated in their original pack or a paper bag, and avoid sealing them in plastic, which traps moisture and makes them slimy. Wipe or rinse them briefly just before use, not before storing, and use them within a few days for the best texture and flavour.

  • Do you deliver white mushrooms outside Sydney?

    Yes. As well as Greater Sydney, we deliver to the Central Coast and to Wollongong and the Illawarra. See our Delivery Areas page for details.
