Vegan Mushroom Recipes

Browse 40+ easy vegan mushroom recipes! Mushrooms are a staple in plant-based cooking thanks to their hearty texture, umami flavor, and ability to stand in for meat in many classic dishes. They're available year-round, and work great in everything from soups and stir-fry, to sauces and sandwiches.

Nutrition: Mushrooms are nutrient-rich, and provide a good source of selenium, B vitamins, potassium, zinc, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and more.

Varieties: White button mushrooms are the most common, but you'll also find cremini (baby bella), Portobello, shiitake, oyster mushrooms, porcini, maitake, dried mushrooms, and others. Each brings its own unique texture and flavor. Mostly I use cremini, white button, and Portobello since these are the most widely available.

Buying & storage tips: Choose mushrooms that are firm & plump, and avoid any that look slimy or wrinkled. Store them in the refrigerator. Loose mushrooms keep best in a paper bag, while pre-packaged mushrooms store well as-is because they're vacuum-sealed. Just be sure not to wash them before storing to extend freshness.
