A nice light marinate that does not over power the mushrooms. Was luck to be able to get button mushrooms, which did help make this into a very nice appetizer. Made as written. Thanks for the post.

These mushrooms really get flavorful after about 3 hours chilled. I minced the garlic (so there would be some o each mushroom and cut down on the oil just a little. I hand-selected the smallest button mushrooms I could find. I think if you can only fond larger ones, you should cut them into halves. Lovely side dish. Thanx!
