Big mistake in using Shitake mushrooms....1/2 cup is 8.8 gr. of carbs. I was eating them eating day fried in butter, till I found my mistake. Regular white mushrooms are low in carbs.

Anyone else find this out...could be reason for going over 20 gr. of carbs per day.

I noticed that and it's a darned shame, too, because they're so good! Yes, the regular button mushrooms have a lot less carbs and so do the Portabello mushrooms. We normally only buy button mushrooms because of price, but will occasionally splurge for the Portabellos. I've noticed when you slice and sautee them they don't shrink down nearly as much as the buttons and the flavor is par excellence!

Just had my last three slices of Portobello today. May need to go shopping again soon :>)
