Ninja Foodi Mushrooms There are many different types of mushrooms out there but I stick to white and baby bellas. Both are defined as different colors of the basic white button mushrooms because of their shape but have a very different texture. You can use either type, the white becomes much softer though. Bellas I typically use in dishes where the other would become too soft and just fall apart. They’re much firmer and won’t fall apart with other ingredients like in our Instant Pot mushroom rice and others.
