Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and finely chop them. Set the caps aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped mushroom stems and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the sautéed stems and garlic to a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the breadcrumb mixture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle vegan parmesan over the stuffed mushrooms, if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
