These were created using baby bella mushrooms, if you are using large portobello I would recommend removing the gills before stuffing, the earthiness of the mushroom with the gills is too overpowering for the delicate crabmeat. My family prefers parsley as the herb, but you can add any other of your choice such as dill.
