  • Combine mushrooms and miso in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms soften into the miso, 6 to 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, oil the grill rack. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

  • Combine butter and the mushroom mixture in a food processor. Process until smooth. (Alternatively, mash with a fork in a small bowl.) Season with salt.

  • Spread some of the mushroom-miso butter onto each ear of corn. Sprinkle with Parmesan and crushed red pepper.

To make ahead

Refrigerate mushroom butter (Steps 2 & 4) for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
