Mushrooms Soggy
Your mushrooms are limp because they released water and steamed. High heat and space restore browning.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 spread mushrooms in a hot dry skillet and cook 3 minutes undisturbed
- 2 add 1 tablespoon butter and sauté until browned
- 3 finish with salt and thyme
If it's still wrong
- Roast at 425F for 6 minutes to dry further.
- Use as a filling where softness is fine.
Prevent next time
- Cook in batches with plenty of space.
- Add salt only after browning to avoid early water release.
Notes
Why this works
High heat drives off moisture so the mushroom surface can brown. Browning adds flavor and a firmer texture.
