Can I use mushrooms instead of eggplants in a pasta?

In a pasta bake, Jamie Oliver calls for eggplants but my market's eggplants always look dinged and marled. So I'm wondering if I can use mushrooms to add the same sense of heft and texture.

They're not seamlessly interchangeable, so as long as you're ok with an altered dish, I don't see why not.
