Method:

Finely chop mushrooms by hand, or alternatively, pulse in a food processor until finely chopped
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add leek, cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms, increase heat to high and cook for 5 minutes or until moisture has almost evaporated. Add mince and thyme, cook, breaking up mince with wooden spoon, until mince changes colour. Remove from heat
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, gradually add milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps forming. Return to heat and bring to boil, whisking constantly. Add parmesan, chicken and mushroom mixture. Season and stir to combine. Set aside to cool
Preheat oven to 220°C fan-forced. Lightly grease 4 x 2-cup capacity heatproof ramekins or bowls. Spoon chicken and mushroom mixture among bowls. Place a sheet of pastry over each ramekin, trim excess pastry. Cut a cross in the centre of each pie. Brush tops with water and season. Place pies onto a tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden. Serve

Mushrooms: Buttons or Caps

Buttons (also known as Caps) are the youngest and generally (but not always) the smallest mushrooms. The name refers to their shape and stage of growth, not the size. The cap of the button mushroom is always tightly closed around the stem. They have a firm, delicate texture and mild flavour that intensifies when cooked.

There's no need to wash or peel mushrooms, simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. Button mushrooms are suitable to eat raw or cooked, they're great whole or sliced in salads, stir-fries, risotto, pizza toppings, pasta dishes , skewered and barbecued or simply served with dips.

Mushrooms: Cups

Cup mushrooms can be used whole, sliced, diced or quartered and then cooked to obtain maximum flavour. Known as the versatile mushroom, they're suitable to all cooking methods and highly rated in soups, sauces and casseroles, they are also ideal for stuffing.

Mushrooms: Flats

As their name suggests, the caps of the mushrooms have opened out flat, exposing the rich, dark gills. Flats are a meal in themselves and make an ideal meat substitute.

Flats have an intense, robust, almost "meaty" flavour, with a dense, spongy texture slightly softer than cups and buttons. There's no need to wash or peel mushrooms, simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. Like cups, flats are best served cooked. Try roasting or barbecuing them whole.
