Ingredients:
- 4 fully cooked Italian sausages (about 1 pound), cut crosswise into thirds 
- 8 oz. lion’s mane mushrooms, torn into 1 1/2-inch pieces (8 oz. quartered white button or crimini mushrooms also can be used in place of lion’s mane)

- 2 T. plus 1 t. extra-virgin olive oil, divided 
- 3/4 t. kosher salt, divided
