1
Prepare the Mushrooms
Clean the oyster mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the tough ends of the stems, and cut larger mushrooms in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Sear the Mushrooms
Add the prepared oyster mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving them, allowing them to brown.
5
Add Garlic and Seasonings
After the mushrooms have browned, add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
6
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the mushrooms, tossing to combine. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
