A useful distinction

Mushrooms differ by product, form and method of preparation. A texture observed after one recipe belongs to that combination. It is not a reason to identify a wild mushroom from appearance or to assume all mushrooms can be prepared interchangeably.

Put it into practice

Use food obtained from an appropriate known source and follow its instructions and a suitable recipe. Record the product name and preparation rather than generalising from a photograph. This article concerns cooking notes and offers no wild-mushroom identification or foraging advice.
