Mushrooms calories per cup: 22–112 across 5 of 6 named USDA examples

Across 5 of 6 named USDA examples, a cup contains 22–112 calories. Their listed weights span 70–160 g, so each calorie value is calculated from that example's own gram weight and published calories per 100 g. The remaining 1 specifically named example does not list that exact household measure.

Compare all 6 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 6 exact records in this guide report 4–56 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 31–70 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Mushrooms, begin by separating “Mushrooms, canned, cooked” from “Mushrooms, raw.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 6 named USDA records in view: 6 direct matches. They span 2 source categories, including Other vegetables and combinations and Vegetables on a sandwich. The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 6 records together under the exact grouping key “mushrooms.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Mushrooms, this page can compare 6 named records from FDC 2709940 through FDC 2709793. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

12–80 g before composition

The largest source amount is 6.7× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

39 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “for use on a sandwich”; the higher is “cooked with oil.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

415 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “for use on a sandwich” (6 mg) and “canned” (421 mg).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every mushrooms.

Important: “Lower” begins with Mushrooms, for use on a sandwich; “higher” ends with Mushrooms, fresh, cooked with oil, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every mushrooms meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Mushrooms, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 12 to 80 grams—a 68-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 4 calories for “for use on a sandwich” to 56 for “cooked with oil.” At a fixed 100 grams, “for use on a sandwich” is 31 calories and “cooked with oil” is 70—a fixed-weight separation of 39 calories. For Mushrooms, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “canned, cooked”, “for use on a sandwich”, “fresh, cooked with oil”, “fresh, cooked, no added fat”, and “raw”. The source formulations contain 9 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include mushrooms, raw, salt, table, mushroom, crimini, and mushroom, portabella. On this Mushrooms page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Mushrooms” cannot resolve the differences between Mushrooms, canned, cooked and Mushrooms, raw. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 12–80 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “canned, cooked”, “for use on a sandwich”, “fresh, cooked with oil”, “fresh, cooked, no added fat”, and “raw”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    9 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Mushrooms, canned, cooked” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Mushrooms unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that mushrooms is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“canned, cooked”, “fresh, cooked with butter or margarine”, “fresh, cooked with oil”, and “raw”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Mushrooms source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 6 exact records behind Mushrooms source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Mushrooms, canned, cooked is higher in sodium per 100 g

Mushrooms, canned, cooked reports 421 mg versus 6 mg for Mushrooms, for use on a sandwich: a 415 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Mushrooms, for use on a sandwich is denser; Mushrooms, canned, cooked is higher in its source amount

Mushrooms, for use on a sandwich reports 2.9 g per 100 g and 0.3 g in USDA source amount (12 g). Mushrooms, canned, cooked reports a lower 1.8 g per 100 g but a higher 1.5 g in USDA source amount (80 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Mushrooms, fresh, cooked, no added fat and Mushrooms, raw are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Preparation wording (No matching controlled term in the source name versus raw) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
