The button mushroom, better known as a white mushroom or sometimes Agaricus bisporus is the most widely cultivated, harvested, and distributed mushroom in the world. This edible fungus is eaten so commonly by such a wide variety of people that the term “mushroom” conjures up the image of a button mushroom in most people's minds. In the United States alone, an average person consumes over two pounds (one kilogram) of button mushrooms a year. The mildly flavored, hardy fungus can be found fresh, dried, and canned in grocery stores all over the world.
