IIRC, portobellos aren't even a unique variety, let alone a unique 
species. I'll have to do some digging into books, but my recollection 
is that portobellos are large specimens of the crimini mushroom, and 
closely related to our standard white champignon or button mushroom.

I think they begun to be cultivated post-period, and don't really 
occur wild, as such.
