Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim any tough stems and slice the mushrooms into thick pieces.
Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the butter and oil mixture and let them cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to release their moisture.
Sprinkle the dried thyme over the mushrooms and add the bay leaf to the skillet, stirring everything together.
Pour the vegetable broth over the mushrooms, stirring well. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors of the broth and seasonings.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to combine.
Remove the bay leaf from the saucepan and discard it.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot as a side dish or as a complement to your favorite main course.
