Mushrooms

[markuk]

I am looking for button mushrooms, same as you would get in UK, dont see them anywhere but see lots of Thai ones.

Anyone know where in Bangkok?

The large supermarkets here sell "champignon mushrooms" in tins. The company is called Thai A.D. Foods Co.

I've not seen fresh ones here. However, there are a couple of tom yams which include small button mushrooms so maybe they are available somewhere. I can't imagine the Thais using tinned ones.

If you cannot get them, you can substitute champignons for เห็ดหอม 'Hed Hawm' or เห็ดฟาง 'Hed Faang'.

When Hed Hawm are picked young, they taste and look quite similar to the button mushrooms you get in Europe (better actually, I would say).

I think you should get Hed Faang mushrooms - they are definitely the closest you'll get to button mushrooms. Due to the warm weather in LOS they don't have as intense a flavour, but as a subsitute in recipes you'll probably not notice any difference.
