Mushrooms are one of the most unique foods available commercially because they come in so many different varieties. Each of these varieties have their own unique flavor profiles and textures giving tons of creative opportunities in the kitchen as well as unique health promoting benefits. The earthiness and umami flavor of mushrooms makes them great replacements for meat as displayed in the recipes below.
If you want to store mushrooms to be cooked later, check out our guide to freezing mushrooms.
Mushroom Soups
Given the nature of the soup, they allow the cook to embed a great deal of complex and deep flavors and textures. This makes mushrooms the perfect candidate to craft vegan soups that are unbelievably sophisticated in taste, even if the recipe is simple. We promise that if you start experimenting with some of these recipes, you’ll never be bored of vegan cuisine ever again!

Mushroom Gravy
We like to think of gravy as the kind of “ice cream on the cake” of savory cooking. Sure, you can make a mean batch of mashed potatoes, but topping it with the right gravy will just take everything to the next level. Much like for soups, mushrooms are the perfect way to make vegan gravies that will knock your socks off!

Mushroom Entrees
For most people living in Western cultures, meat is always the “main dish”. However, once you start exploring plant based options, you start to realize that this is awfully limiting and often downright boring and un-creative. These recipes show you just how easy it is to make a complete main course with mushrooms and no meat whatsoever.
