Prepare the mushrooms
Gently wipe the maitake cluster to remove any grit. Trim the base and, if needed, separate into 2-4 portions for even grilling.

Make the marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.

Marinate the mushrooms
Toss the mushroom portions in the marinade until evenly coated. Let rest 15-20 minutes to absorb flavors.

Prepare grill for slow roasting
Set up the grill for indirect, medium-low heat (about 300°F / 150°C). If using charcoal, push coals to the sides; if using gas, only heat the outer zones and keep the center cooler.
