Add the egg yolks and beat with an electric whisk for 30 seconds, or until creamy. Start beating in the oil, one drop at a time. as the mixture begins to thicken, add the oil in a steady stream, beating constantly. Season to taste with salt an pepper, cover the bowl with cling film and chill in the fridge until needed.

Line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Grate the bread into breadcrumbs and place them in a bowl with the Parmesan cheese. lightly whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl, then dip each mushroom first into the egg whites, then into the the breadcrumbs and place on the baking sheet.
