For a deeper mushroom flavor, consider using a mix of wild mushrooms such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
A splash of dry sherry or white wine added to the mushrooms while sautéing will enhance the flavor.
Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, chopped and stirred in at the end, add a bright, fresh element.
For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil or vegan butter and use a plant-based cream alternative.
