Thoroughly clean the mushrooms of dirt and leaves, then cut them into smaller pieces. Make sure they are all of similar size so they marinate evenly.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil with vinegar, sugar, salt, allspice, bay leaf, and pepper. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
Add the mushrooms to the boiling brine and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender but not overcooked.
Place one clove of garlic in each sterilized jar, then fill them with mushrooms and the brine. Seal tightly and set aside to cool.
Marinated mushrooms are popular not only in Poland but also in many European countries, where they are often served as an appetizer with alcoholic beverages.
Marinated mushrooms are best served in elegant jars or on plates with fresh bread. They pair wonderfully with cold cuts and cheese. You can also garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley.
The remaining mushrooms are best stored in tightly sealed jars in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 3 months. To reheat them, simply warm them gently in a pan or in the microwave.
