Clean the mushrooms and chop them into halves (or quarters if they are large) for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, ground cumin, and red chili flakes. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them to ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the marinated mushrooms, reserving any remaining sauce in the bowl.
Cook the mushrooms for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Add the reserved marinade to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens up slightly.
Season the satay mushrooms with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the soy-free satay mushrooms as a main dish over rice or quinoa, or enjoy as a savory appetizer.
