  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. Drain and thread marinated mushrooms onto the skewers closely.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  4. Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown and tender, about 8-10 minutes total.
  5. Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, and serve on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
