• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the mushrooms: If your mushrooms caps are very rounded, trim a very thin slice from the top of the caps to help them sit upright for baking. Toss the mushroom caps with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• For the filling: Heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems and spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft and wilted, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grind of pepper and set aside to cool.
