If you’re on the hunt for hearty, comforting, and flavorful 100% vegan mushroom recipes, I’ve got you covered. From creamy plant-based risottos to mouthwatering stroganoffs, these dishes will make you fall in love with the humble mushroom all over again.
I’ve always had a soft spot for mushrooms, and it all started as a kid, foraging for porcini mushrooms in the woods of Italy.
I’ll be honest—I wasn’t the best forager. My basket usually ended up half empty, but what I lacked in finds, I made up for in enthusiasm.
Those times in the Italian woods weren’t just fun; they kickstarted my lifelong passion for mushrooms and everything you can do with them in the kitchen.
So why are mushrooms so great in vegan cooking?
Two words: Texture and flavor.
Mushrooms have got this awesome, meaty texture that can really fill the gap when you’re cooking without meat. They give dishes that satisfying, hearty feel.
Plus, they’re packed with umami—the rich, savory flavor that makes you go, “Wow, I need another bite!”.
And let’s not forget how good mushrooms are for you.
They’re low in calories but high in all the good stuff: fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like B and D. So they’re not just a meat substitute; they’re a superfood in their own right.
So whether you’re a committed vegan or just someone who wants to eat more plant-based meals, there’s something here for you.
These genuinely delicious vegan mushroom recipes cover everything from creamy risottos to fajitas, stir-fries, and soups!
So, let’s get cooking!
25 Vegan Mushroom Recipes
Mushroom Lasagna
Sliced mushrooms replace meat in this gloriously rich and creamy vegan lasagna.
The layers of pasta are perfectly al dente and are boosted by a garlic and tomato-based marinara sauce.
You can even use vegan cheese and nutritional yeast to boost the cheesy flavor for an extra hit of indulgence!
Creamy Vegan Mushroom Pasta
I love creamy pasta.
And this Alfredo-like dish explodes with flavor thanks to garlic, onion, and mushrooms (obviously!).
The blended cashews replace a rich and calorific cream sauce and get a slight zing from a squeeze of lemon juice.
And if you’re worried about this dish tasting bland, the mushrooms infuse the pasta with so much flavor!
Sweet Potato Stuffed Mushrooms
Toss aside regular cheesy stuffed peppers and prepare for their Vitamin B-rich big sisters!
These enormous mushrooms are super tender (without being mushy!) and get extra heartiness from sweet potatoes.
Throw in the slightly sweet white rice, spinach, and crunchy pepitas and you’ll have a seriously satisfying midweek meal.
Lentil Mushroom Ragu Pasta

Calling all lovers of carbs and comfort food!
This sweet, savory, and creamy vegan mushroom risotto is about to be your go-to Friday night treat.
