Marinated Mushrooms

1 lb. mushrooms
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil (or olive and corn mixed)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 decent-sized clove garlic, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2-3 bay leaves

Use small mushrooms or cut larger ones into thickish slices. Mix everything together except the paprika, which should be added at the end. Mix up with mushrooms. Turn the mushrooms around every few hours - leave overnight in the refrigerator, or at least leave them to marinate for about three hours. (The longer the better.) Note: olive oil may get hard in the refrigerator. Before serving keep at room temperature for a few minutes and stir for the oil to melt.
