Feel free to use any type of mushrooms to your preference and even a mixture of mushrooms. Clean the mushrooms well before you start slicing them. Make sure the mushrooms are sliced rather than halved or quartered as they cook quicker this way. For maximum flavor make sure the mushrooms start to caramelize before you add the cream.
