Can you eat a whole portobello mushroom?
Chef's answer
And, some prefer to remove the gills because of the stronger, if not bitter, flavor they can impart. Even though all parts of a portabella are edible, most recipes feature the whole meaty caps. If you are stuffing the mushroom, it makes sense to remove the stem and gills to allow more space for the stuffing.
