   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

5. 5

   Divide oyster meat among shells. Top with mushroom mixture. Cover thickly with remaining mayonnaise mixture. Arrange shells on a baking sheet.

6. 6

   Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven until tops are dark brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

   Garnish baked oysters with roe and serve with lemon wedges.
