One of the most common ways to prepare button mushrooms is to bread them. This method also works well with less delicate varieties, such as larger oyster mushrooms. It helps both the flavor and texture to use nuts instead of bread crumbs, which add crunch to the dish. Read more The dish can, of course, be made with button mushrooms or any other wild mushrooms that are two to three inches wide across the cap. The frying will cook them sufficiently. These mushrooms need no dipping sauce. If you prefer a milder flavor, use Chinese oyster sauce instead of the chipotle puree. See less
