1 cup (medium) of Cooked Mushrooms (70 g) has 20 calories. That works out to 28 calories per 100 g. It contains 3 g of carbs, 2 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 0.7 g of fiber. Its 11.2 µg of Biotin covers 37% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Cooked mushrooms are usually cultivated mushrooms, such as white button mushrooms, that have been sautéed, roasted or cooked as part of another dish. They are not tied to one particular cuisine. Cooking softens their texture and brings out a savoury, earthy flavour; browning gives the edges a deeper, lightly caramelised taste.
They are served around the world alongside eggs at breakfast, as a side with meat or fish, or folded into pasta, soups and toast toppings. Cooked mushrooms are low in calories and provide fibre and B vitamins, though their nutritional profile depends partly on what is added during cooking. For a lighter plate, cook them with a modest amount of oil and finish with herbs, garlic or a squeeze of lemon.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD

Cooked mushrooms keep for 3–4 days in a covered container in a refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder. Refrigerate them promptly after cooking rather than leaving them out to cool for hours.
Yes, cooked mushrooms can be frozen. Cool them first and pack them airtight in meal-size portions; thawed mushrooms tend to be softer, so they work especially well in soups, sauces, and casseroles.
Cook mushrooms in a hot pan without crowding them, so their released moisture can evaporate instead of steaming them. Add salt near the end and let the slices brown before stirring often.
Yes, reheat cooked mushrooms in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave until steaming hot. Stir during microwave heating for an even result, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, cooked mushrooms can be eaten cold if they were chilled promptly and kept refrigerated. They make an easy addition to salads, sandwiches, and grain bowls.
Cooked mushrooms can feel slimy when they have spoiled, especially if they were stored too long or left warm. Discard them if they also smell unpleasant, look moldy, or have an unusual sticky texture.
Yes, cooked mushrooms can be a nutritious part of a meal. They provide B vitamins and fiber, and their savory flavor can add substance to dishes without relying on processed meat.
To brown cooked mushrooms, spread them in a hot pan and give them room; overcrowding traps steam and prevents browning. If they are already cooked, briefly fry them in a little oil until their surfaces take on color.
Yes, cooked mushrooms can be reheated in the microwave. Place them in a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely, and stir partway through so the pieces heat evenly rather than leaving cold spots.
Cooked mushrooms can be folded into pasta, eggs, soups, risotto, or a savory sandwich. Add them near the end of cooking when possible, since they are already cooked and mainly need warming.
