Savory, earthy, and almost meaty — it’s strange to think that fungus can be so delicious. But mouthwatering mushroom recipes, including vegetarian brunches and Meatless Monday meals, are all of those things and more. Portobellos, the mature form of the button mushroom, are the best of them all. Their large size lends them to all sorts of dishes, and they have a toothsome texture and powerful kick of umami that make them a great substitute for meat. Work them into your dinner every night of the week with one of these 14 recipes.
