In a large skillet, heat the oil. Saute the leeks and garlic for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the mushrooms, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked and their liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 10 minutes.
