5.Add 1/2 cup of the hot broth to the rice mixture and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat with additional 1/2 cup increments of broth, stirring constantly, until the rice is tender and creamy.
6.Stir in the soaked mushrooms, salt, butter, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
