Shape: Chestnut mushrooms have a rounded, convex cap that is typically smaller and more compact than some other mushrooms. The cap is firm and smooth.
Color: The cap starts off a pale brown and darkens to a rich, reddish-brown or chestnut color as it matures. The gills underneath the cap are white when young and turn a darker brown as the mushroom ages.
Texture: The texture is firm and dense. When cooked, chestnut mushrooms retain their texture and add a pleasant bite to dishes.
