Particularly useful are the photographs and descriptions of the different cultivated varieties - among them white, crimini, portobello, shiitake, enoki, maitake and oyster along with the nutritional information on the various varieties - from 19 calories in 3 ounces of white or crimini mushrooms to 41 calories in the same amount of shiitake.
