Morphology
The meaning 'a mushroom that has been filled with a savory mixture' is directly and transparently derived from the past-participle adjective 'stuffed' (filled) plus 'mushroom' (the fungus cap). This is a common, compositional culinary pattern (e.g. 'stuffed peppers', 'stuffed chicken') found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Stuffed mushroom comes from a clear kitchen picture: a mushroom cap acting like a tiny bowl that is stuffed with cheese, meat, or herbs and then baked or grilled. That's why it means 'a small dish made by filling mushroom caps', often served as an appetizer.
