About Almond mushroom

The almond mushroom is an edible mushroom named for its characteristic almond-like aroma, especially when fresh. Its cap is rounded when young and broadens as it matures; the surface is pale to brownish, and the flesh is firm and white. It has a rich, savory flavour with a noticeable aroma that can be more pronounced than that of common button mushrooms.

It is used as a cooked mushroom in sautés, soups, and other preparations, and may be sold fresh or dried. Cooking softens the firm flesh and brings out its aroma; dried mushrooms have a denser texture and require rehydration. The common name identifies a particular culinary mushroom, not almonds or a mushroom flavoured with almond.
