See RecipeCremini, portobello, and shiitake mushrooms are versatile and commonly used in vegan cooking for their texture and flavor. Oyster and trumpet mushrooms are also great for their ability to mimic the texture of meat.

While mushrooms contain some protein, they are not as high in protein as other plant-based sources. They should be paired with legumes, grains, or nuts to create a balanced vegan meal.
