Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if needed.
In a small mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, and water to form a smooth batter. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together nutritional yeast, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each mushroom into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
Roll the dipped mushroom in the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil. It should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place the breaded mushrooms into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the vegan breaded mushrooms immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
