Clean the mushrooms: do not soak them in water. Take a kitchen cloth or paper towel and gently wipe each button mushroom and oyster mushroom cap to remove dirt. Use a small knife to cut off the tough ends of the stems (about 2-3 mm). If the button mushrooms are larger, cut them in half; leave the small ones whole. Tear the oyster mushrooms by hand or cut them into strips about 1-1.5 cm wide.
Description
Delicate, lightly roasted mushrooms with an aromatic marinade of garlic, fresh thyme, and lemon juice. An appetizer inspired by seasonal Polish cuisine, highlighting the earthy flavor of button and oyster mushrooms, with a distinct, fresh hint of lemon. Perfect as a starter for the grill, a side for bread, or a light snack for spring gatherings. Visually, the dish looks appealing due to the contrast of the dark, roasted edges of the mushrooms and the green parsley leaves, along with a creamy crumble of feta cheese (optional). A simple recipe for beginners, ready in 15 minutes.

Preparation steps
Preparation
Marinade
Prepare the marinade: peel and finely chop or press the garlic (15 g). Wash the thyme, dry it, and finely chop the leaves (10 g). Grate the zest of the lemon (about 1/2 lemon) using a fine grater, then squeeze the juice and measure about 20–25 ml of juice (part of the juice from 50 g of lemon). In a small bowl, combine canola oil (30 g), garlic, thyme, grated lemon zest, 20 ml of lemon juice, salt (2 g), and pepper (2 g). Mix with a fork or spoon until a homogeneous emulsion is formed.
Place the prepared mushrooms in a large bowl. Drizzle them with the prepared marinade and gently mix with a spoon or your hand (clean) for 20–30 seconds, so that each piece is lightly coated. Set aside for 5–7 minutes to let the flavors combine — the mushrooms will release some juice, which will enhance the flavor.
Grilling
Preheat the gas grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (the surface should be hot; about 200°C). If you are using a grill pan on the stove, wait 3-4 minutes until it is well heated. Brush the grill grate or the surface of the pan with a thin layer of oil (you can use a brush or a rolled-up piece of paper towel soaked in oil). Place the mushrooms cap-side down and grill without moving for 3-4 minutes until clear grill marks appear. Flip and grill for another 2-4 minutes until the mushrooms are soft, juicy, and slightly browned.
Finishing
Transfer the grilled mushrooms to a plate or board. Just before serving, drizzle with a few drops of lemon juice (the remainder from the prepared lemon). If using, crumble feta cheese on top (80 g) and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley (15 g). Serve immediately while the mushrooms are still warm.
Fun Fact
Many Polish regions have used mushrooms as appetizers and additions to bread for centuries; grilling enhances the natural flavor of mushrooms just like traditional drying or pickling.

Tips
Serve warm as an appetizer on a large board with bread (rye or wheat bread), along with lemon slices and a bowl of herb-infused olive oil. It can also be served as a side dish with pearl barley or on arugula with a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Store in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 24 hours. To reheat, use a hot grill pan or an oven preheated to 180°C for 5–7 minutes. Freezing is not recommended — mushrooms lose their texture after thawing.
