The time it takes for mushrooms to bake varies from about 20-35 minutes, depending on their size and how much moisture they have absorbed before the baking process itself. Bake the mushrooms in a preheated 200 degree oven until they aquire a brown color.
You will easily find dozens of mushroom recipes. And while for more experienced cooks, even cooking shepherd's stewed mushrooms can be a big challenge, the more experienced ones in the kitchen will easily prepare oven-baked salmon with mushrooms or oyster mushrooms with cream sauce.
