Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and carefully remove the stems. Set the mushroom caps aside and finely chop the stems.
Grate the zucchini and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess moisture.
Mince the garlic and parsley. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, grated zucchini, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining olive oil and arrange them cavity-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Carefully spoon the zucchini mixture into each mushroom cap, mounding it slightly. Top each stuffed mushroom with a pinch of the remaining shredded mozzarella.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
