Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute stirring frequently. Add the Arborio rice and cook just until it starts to lightly brown stirring constantly; 3-4 minutes Add the wine and cook until evaporated stirring constantly.
Add the warmed chicken broth about 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time stirring and cooking until the liquid is evaporated after each addition of broth; this steps takes between 20-25 minutes. Do not cook the last addition of broth all the way as you want it creamy. Stir in the cooked mushrooms, Parmesan cheese and if desired freshly chopped parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
