With mushrooms in peak season right now, there are so many varieties to choose from — portobello, cremini, chanterelles and shiitake, for example. Mushrooms are hearty vegetables that many vegetarians substitute for meat in dishes. Each of these five recipes — all under 400 calories — makes the most of the season’s star fungi, with four being vegetarian.

1. CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS IN WINE SAUCE | COOKING LIGHT

This recipe comes together in less than 25 minutes. It’s adaptable to your pantry — if you don’t have egg noodles, use another kind of pasta, and if you’re out of tarragon, swap in basil, oregano or thyme. Recipe makes 4 servings.

Ideal for a festive brunch or easy dinner party, this dish is ready in less than 30 minutes. The mushroom sauce tempers the rich fontal cheese with melt-in-your-mouth polenta. If you can’t find fontal or fontina cheese, use provolone, gruyere or gouda. Recipe makes 4 servings at 1 gratin each.
