Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary.
In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the olive oil, water, and red wine vinegar over medium heat.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly. Add them to the skillet along with the dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if using.
Stir the mixture gently to combine and bring it to a simmer.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir well to coat them evenly in the marinade.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have absorbed much of the marinade.
Meanwhile, chop the fresh parsley and thyme finely.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the honey, fresh parsley, and thyme.
Transfer the mushrooms and their marinade to a clean glass jar or serving bowl. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, appetizer, or as part of a salad. Enjoy your delicious marinated mushrooms!
