Mix 1/3 cup water and ground flax seed together in a bowl; set aside until thickened, at least 10 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, celery, and garlic until softened and liquid from mushrooms has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Stage
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
