Stir flaxseed into warm water and let stand until thickened. In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, onion, walnuts, beef style, chicken style and salt.

Stir in mushrooms.* Stir in flaxseed mixture. Mix well, and let stand 5 – 10 minutes, until mixture holds together.

Shape into patties and fry on both sides until browned. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour to finish cooking the patties in the middle.

* This mixture can be prepared in a food processor on “pulse” to save time.
