Is it Portobello or Portabello mushroom?

Answer 1

Portobello - pronounced [por-toh-BEHL-loh]
The portobello also called portabella is really simply a brown crimini mushroom in disguise. Evidently the usage of the two words "portobello vs. portabella" is simply an issue of a marketing brand. Once the little brown crimini grows up to be about 4" - 6" in diameter he is deemed to be a portobello.

Answer 2

Both, It really depends on what side of "The Pond" you are on. Weither you are using American (as created by Samual Webster) or The Queens English (New Oxford Dictionary British edition). There are several "Beautiful Port"s around the world, The one in England was by the Romans, but the one in the Carribbean was named by the Portigese. But over all I think that it's a lot like Broccolli and zuchini, there will never be a concense on the spelling.

In less than the time it took you to post that question, you could have typed the word into Google and it would give you the proper spelling.
