Slice the baby bella mushrooms thinly and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are fully cooked and have absorbed the flavors.
Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the vegan burger patties according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes per side, or until heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of vegan Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.
Lightly toast the whole-grain burger buns in a toaster or in the oven if desired.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Place a lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato on top of the bun.
Add the cooked vegan patty with melted Swiss cheese on top of the lettuce and tomato.
Top each burger with a generous portion of the sautéed mushrooms.
Place the top bun over the mushrooms, press down gently, and serve immediately.
