Mushrooms can be bought either fresh or canned or dried. (I do not recommend using canned mushrooms.)  Some grocery stores also sell them pre-sliced but, once sliced, these mushrooms spoil quickly; they oxidize after being cut, turning brown and soft once exposed to air. They can be eaten raw or cooked in almost any dish, but their flavor intensifies with cooking. Bigger button mushrooms can be left wcoohole and stuffed, for an appetizer or side dish. Mushrooms can be an accent, an addition, a flavoring, or the main event. 

White, crisp, common button mushrooms can be sliced and eaten raw in salads, or diced fine to become the basis of a sophisticated, rich and flavorful dish.
