Prepare the Mushrooms: In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place beaten eggs in a second dish, and breadcrumbs or panko in a third.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dredge each mushroom slice in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each slice is well-coated.
Fry the mushroom slices in batches, avoiding overcrowding, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
