Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or a soft brush to remove any dirt. Trim off the ends of the stems if necessary, and leave small mushrooms whole; halve or quarter larger mushrooms for even cooking.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the mushrooms with half of the garlic oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red with a thin layer of ash. If using a gas grill, preheat for 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Place the mushrooms on the grill, either directly on the grates or on a grill basket to prevent smaller pieces from falling through. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly charred.
Transfer the grilled mushrooms to a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining garlic oil, sprinkle with chopped parsley and thyme, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
