White Button Mushrooms: rounded mushrooms with a flat bottom are best for stuffing and being able to bake on their own without falling over.

What are the benefits to eating mushrooms
Mushrooms are packed with nutritional value. They are low in calories, are great sources of fiber and protein. They also provide many important nutrients that are good for your overall health.
Taking care of mushrooms
I prefer to use white button mushrooms for stuffing mushrooms with. They have a mild flavor that mixes well with the sausage and cheese stuffing. If you can, try to find mushrooms that are roughly the same size. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
Removing the mushroom stems: You will need to remove the stem before you can start adding in the mixture to stuff the mushrooms with. Gently wiggle the stem back and forth with your fingers while you are twisting the stem slightly. The mushroom stem will easily pop right out. After you remove the stem of the mushroom and use a spoon to scoop any dirt out from the mushroom Washing mushrooms: before stuffing your mushrooms it is best to properly clean and wash them. Use a wet paper towel and gently rub the tops and sides of each mushroom. Make sure not to run or soak them in water for too long. They are porous and can fall apart if they get too wet.
Tips for making sausage stuffed mushroom caps
Simple changes can add even more flavoring to these mushrooms. Make them your own but chaining up your sausage and even seasonings for more spice. These are a creamy, savory stuffed mushroom that has all the flavoring your next party needs!
Sausage comes in a variety and you can use any type that you prefer. I usually like a little spicer for our family but you can use a milder sausage. You can substitute the parsley for chives, thyme or green onions for other varieties of seasoning. For added texture you can add panko crumbs or sprinkled parmesan cheese.
