Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or quickly rinsing them and patting them dry. Trim the stems if necessary.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the mushrooms to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let the mushrooms sit in the marinade for 15β30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.
Thread the marinated mushrooms onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each mushroom for even cooking.
Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the mushroom skewers on the grill and cook for 8β10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley.
Serve the barbecued garlic and herb mushrooms immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
