Carmen, if I understand your question, you're asking someone who is a native English-speaker to help you see how we distinguish between different varieties of mushroom. Is that correct?
I have to say that probably 95% of Americans don't care if there is more than one kind of mushroom. Sadly enough. Most people who want to cook with mushrooms just buy generic "mushrooms" in the produce section of the grocery store without questioning the TYPE of mushroom. Probably some Americans would recognize the term "portabello" as a type of mushroom, but couldn't pick one out if they saw one. We're pathetic, aren't we?

Yeah, okay, so there are THOSE kinds of mushrooms. But we Yanks would call them "shrooms". Not that I know anything about shrooms.......
