Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to soften.
While the cashews are soaking, clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems from the mushroom caps and set the caps aside.
Chop the garlic cloves finely and set aside. Chop the mushroom stems into small pieces and set aside separately.
Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a food processor. Add nutritional yeast, chopped garlic, lemon juice, water, and olive oil. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the creamy cashew mixture to a bowl. Add the chopped mushroom stems, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill each mushroom cap with a generous spoonful of the cashew mixture.
Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the tops, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are slightly golden.
Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
