How to roast Mushrooms in Air fryer?
Wash and Prep the Mushrooms before cooking
Since mushrooms have a lot of mud on the stem and its surface, it is very important to clean the mushrooms properly before cooking. Wash every single mushroom under cold water first. And then wipe them clean with a paper towel. Make sure to remove all the mud. Trim the stems a little at the bottom.
Once the washing and cleaning is done, cut the mushrooms in halves or quarteres. If there are any larger mushrooms, then you can cut them into 6 pieces also. Make sure that all the pieces are more or less of the same size for even cooking. Now place them in a mixing bowl.
Further add olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper to the mushrooms. Mix all the ingredients well with either hands or a fork.
Air frying Mushrooms
Preheat your air fryer at 400*F. Now place the seasoned mushrooms inside the air fryer basket. Make sure to place them in a single layer and not over crowd these for even cooking.
Air fry the garlic butter mushrooms for about 3 minutes. Take out the air fryer basket and shake the mushrooms inside. Place the basket back and air fry further for 2 minutes or they look cooked. It will take about 5-6 minutes. Do not over do it or else these will become dry.
If you have taken the smaller mushrooms and halved them then these will take about 7-8 minutes.
The cooking time will vary according to the thickness of the chopped mushrooms.

My understanding is that Mushrooms should never be washed under water as they absorb the water. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe off any visible dirt, possibly a small soft brush if necessary.
Looking forward to trying this recipe.
