Excellent! - the mushrooms added a very tasty element to the sauce. I didn't have any wild mushrooms, so used baby portabellas and also added some white wine and garlic and chopped green onions at the end. I did the same for shrimp in another saucepan with equally favorable results. This recipe is a keeper.
