For enhanced flavor, consider using a mix of mushroom varieties such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms.

To prevent sticking, you may lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add a small pat of butter to the mushrooms during the last minute of air frying.
Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
