Dip the mushrooms into the batter and then into the fryer. Fry, turning halfway through and holding under the oil, until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
• For the burgers: Brush the cut sides of the ciabatta with the garlic butter and toast until golden brown. Smear both sides with the charred scallion mayo. Combine the cabbages with the rice vinegar, olive oil, chiles, charred scallions, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix until tender. Place a fried mushroom on the base bun, top with half the dressed slaw, hit with juice of half the lemon and place the top half of bun on top. Repeat with the other burger.
