How to measure sliced mushrooms
The USDA entry is “Mushrooms, white, raw, 1 cup, pieces or slices = 70 g”. King Arthur Baking’s chart gives 78 grams per cup of sliced mushrooms, so the two sources are 8 grams apart. That puts them near the bottom of the vegetable group: only raw spinach at 30 grams per cup is lighter, while chopped celery is 101 grams and chopped onion 160 grams. Slice first, then fill the cup loosely and level it. Half a cup is 35 grams and a quarter cup about 18 grams. 8 ounces, 227 grams, is about 3 1/4 cups sliced.
Sources: 70 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central (open FDC entry 169251), entry “Mushrooms, white, raw, 1 cup, pieces or slices = 70 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
