Use your hands to gently coat the mushrooms iwth the marinade and set aside for 15 minutes. if using large mushrooms, let sit in the marinade for 1 hour. CHEESE: Process all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add more water if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, but it's best to keep it thick. PESTO: Place the spinach, oil, garlic, lemonjuice and salt into a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the container with a spatula as needed. Add the walnuts and Pulse until Incorporated but still chunky. ASSEMBLY: For each mushroom cap, gill with pignolia cheese followed by a dollop of pesto. place the stuffed mushrooms on a dehydrator tray lined witha nonstick sheet and warm at 110 f for 2-3 hours.
