Begin by preparing the mushrooms. Cut the stems of the king oyster mushrooms into thick rounds, about 1/2-inch thick. Gently score the tops in a crosshatch pattern to help them absorb marinade better.
In a large bowl, toss the mushroom slices with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate while preparing the vegan herbed butter.
To make the herbed butter, finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley and chives.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the vegan butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Arrange the seasoned mushroom slices on the grill. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the mushrooms are tender. If you are using a grill pan, working in batches might be necessary.
Once the mushrooms are grilled, liberally top each mushroom slice with a spoonful of the herbed butter while they are hot, allowing the butter to melt and infuse into the mushrooms.
Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or entrΓ©e. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon for a bright finish.
