雙孢蘑菇（学名：Agaricus bisporus）俗稱洋菇，為伞菌科伞菌属的一种，是最常見的食用菇之一，肉質肥厚。原生於歐洲及北美洲，人類至少自古希臘時代起便開始食用，人工栽培則約始於17世紀的法國等地，現在則已經廣泛在世界各地栽培。 雙孢蘑菇最大約可長到蕈傘直徑20公分，蕈柄長度15公分，不過人工栽培的雙孢蘑菇多半在蕈傘成熟張開後直徑達2～4公分時便採收。雙孢蘑菇依外觀顏色區分可分為4種，即白色、灰白色、淡黃色及褐色，其中以白色種最受市場歡迎，也是產量最多的一種。

Encyclopedic overview

Agaricus bisporus, commonly known as the cultivated mushroom, is a basidiomycete mushroom native to grasslands in Eurasia and North America. It is cultivated in more than 70 countries and is one of the most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world. It has two color states while immature – white and brown – both of which have various names, with additional names for the mature state, such as chestnut, portobello, portabellini, button, cremini, and champignon de Paris (see Names below).

Some poisonous lookalikes in the wild, such as Entoloma sinuatum, may appear similar. Agaricus bisporus often grows in rich soil and compost.
