About Cooked mushrooms
Cooked mushrooms, an edible fungus, are widely consumed across global cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to European sauces and American grill recipes. Originating from various fungal species such as button, cremini, or shiitake, mushrooms are low in calories yet packed with nutrients. A 100-gram serving of cooked mushrooms provides approximately 35 calories, 2 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbohydrates (including about 1 gram of fiber), and less than 1 gram of fat. Mushrooms are particularly rich in B-vitamins (B2, B3, and B5), selenium, copper, and potassium and are among the few non-animal dietary sources of vitamin D when exposed to sunlight or UV light during growth.
Health Benefits
- Supports immune function due to high selenium content (9 mcg per 100 grams, about 16% of the daily value).
- Promotes energy production with B-vitamins such as niacin (3.8 mg per 100 grams, 24% of the daily value) and riboflavin.
- Helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels due to potassium (over 300 mg per 100 grams).
- Provides antioxidant benefits from ergothioneine, a unique mushroom compound that supports cellular protection.
- Enhances bone health with vitamin D, particularly in UV-exposed mushrooms.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store cooked mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days. For safety, reheat thoroughly before eating.

How do cooked mushrooms compare to raw mushrooms nutritionally?
Cooked mushrooms are more concentrated in nutrients per gram as they lose water during cooking, slightly increasing their calorie and nutrient density. Cooking also helps release some antioxidants like ergothioneine, making them more bioavailable, but it can slightly reduce heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin C.
