Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add half of 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as maitake, oyster, crimini, and/or shiitake), torn into bite-size pieces, in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until edges are brown and starting to crisp, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until brown and crisp all over, about ⏱️ 5 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate; season with kosher salt. Repeat with remaining mushrooms and 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil and more salt.
