Simple Mushroom Sauce

The other night Forrest made wild rice with mushroom sauce. It was delicious and so simple! The recipe he used for the sauce came from http://www.helpwithcooking.com/sauces/mushroom-sauce.html. He didn't use any olive oil (who uses warm fat to melt other fat?). Next time, he says, he will adapt the recipe with spices and/or other additions.
