Can you eat the gills of a portobello mushroom?
Mushroom gills are totally edible, but in some cases, they make a dish unsightly. Portobello mushrooms, however, have particularly dark gills, which can cause any dish they’re used in to turn dark and unappealing.
How do I cook portobello mushroom stems?

- Return the skillet to low heat.
- Brush portobello caps evenly with olive oil, season with salt and pepper on both sides and place them stem side down on a baking sheet.

How can you tell a mushroom is poisonous?
Mushrooms with white gills are often poisonous. So are those with a ring around the stem and those with a volva. Because the volva is often underground, it’s important to dig around the base of a mushroom to look for it. Mushrooms with a red color on the cap or stem are also either poisonous or strongly hallucinogenic.
Are mushroom stems OK to eat?
Generally, yes, mushroom stems are edible. With smaller shiitake mushrooms, it is easy to just pull of the stem to separate it from the cap. With larger skiitake mushrooms, pulling off the stem sometimes damages the cap — either the cap breaks or a chunk of the soft flesh comes off with the stem.
How can you tell if a mushroom is poisonous or edible?
Avoid mushrooms with white gills, a skirt or ring on the stem and a bulbous or sack-like base called a volva. You may be missing out on some good edible fungi but it means you will be avoiding the deadly members of the Amanita family. Avoid mushrooms with red on the cap or stem.

Should mushroom stems be removed?
Some mushrooms have woody stems. I’ve encountered this even with white, cremini, and portobello mushrooms; all shiitakes have woody stems. Even if the stems are not tough, it’s still a good idea to trim off and discard any dry ends.
What happens if you eat shiitake mushroom stems?
The stems of shiitake mushrooms are too fibrous to eat, but they still pack a lot of flavor. Just a few stems can infuse a broth with rich flavors and earthy aromas. The stems are especially good in vegetable and broth-based soups (as opposed to thick stews).
What can I do with mushroom blocks?
Mushroom blocks will burn in a furnace, smelting 1.5 objects per block. They can also be placed and re-broken to get mushrooms which can then be turned into mushroom soup. Yum! Or you can use them to build.
