In case you hadn’t noticed, mushrooms are fantastic. Despite having their own unique flavors, they are highly adaptable and have the ability to perfectly compliment a wide range of different flavors. They’re also a delicious and healthy meat substitute that can round out almost any meal. So whether you’re a seasoned mushroom fan or looking to expand your culinary horizons, check out the following recipes to see how you can add some fungus you actually want to your life.
1. Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms
Why complicate things? Quick, simple and delicious. Also, bonus garlic!

More generally referred to as a savory scone in my motherland, these delicious morsels are perfect if you enjoy your mushrooms with a side of carbs. I know I do.
3. Light Mushroom Lasagna
Tired of the same old lasagna recipe? Mix it up with this mushroom filled substitute! The best part is that it’s vegetarian-friendly.
4. Bacon and Mushroom Potato Gratin
What does mushrooms with cheese, bacon and potato equal? If you replied with “heaven” or “my future spouse” we can remain friends. Glorified potato bake has never been so tasty.
5. Mushroom Burger with Avocado Slaw
This is another fantastic option for vegetarians who still want to chow down on a burger with substance.

Who are you calling a wild tart?
8. Bonkers Awesome Mushroom and Onion Shells and Cheese
Admittedly I was initially drawn to this recipe due to the crazy name, but upon closer inspection it also proved to be delicious. If you don’t believe me, I have four words for you: Three. Kinds. Of. Cheese. I’ll let that idea settle in for a minute.
This dish reinvents tired old mac n’ cheese and makes it, well, bonkers!
