### Ingredient Swaps and Additions
Feel free to switch up the mushrooms! While button mushrooms are fantastic, you could also use shiitake or portobello for a deeper flavor. If you want an extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture or experiment with fresh herbs like basil or cilantro!

### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended.
3. Take each mushroom, coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, before returning it to the flour mixture for a second coating.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (356°F).
5. Fry the mushrooms in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan to ensure they fry evenly.
6. Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

### Serving Suggestions
These crispy herbal fried mushrooms are lovely on their own, but you can elevate the dish by serving it alongside tangy dipping sauces, like ranch or garlic aioli. Pair them with a fresh salad or a wholesome grain dish for a balanced meal.

### Pro Tips for Success
1. Ensure your oil is heated to the right temperature—too low, and your mushrooms will absorb oil; too high, and they’ll burn.
2. For a lighter option, consider air frying the mushrooms instead!
3. Let the mushrooms cool slightly before serving to maintain their crispiness.
