Flat Mushroom
A tier
Flat mushrooms are fully open, often large UK/AU market A. bisporus—dark gills, robust flavour, excellent for grilling and frying. Overlap with portobello concept under local naming. Grill, stuff, or slice for strong mushroom presence. Prefer flats when recipes say field mushroom but mean cultivated open caps. Handsome breakfast fry-ups.
