It is important to squeeze all the moisture out of the chopped mushrooms or they will not brown properly.
Chop mushrooms very fine or pulse in a food processor until they resemble coarse sand.
Squeeze about � cup of the mushrooms at a time in dampened cheesecloth or a thin cotton towel and wring them very hard to extract their bitter juices. The mushrooms will be in a solid lump if you have squeezed hard enough.
Heat the butter and oil in a medium skillet of the until the foam subsides.
Add and cook shallots or scallions briefly over medium heat:
Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, over medium-high heat until they have begun to brown and there is very little liquid, 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir in dry sherry or Madeira.
Cook until completely evaporated.
Add heavy cream, salt and ground black pepper to taste a pinch of dried thyme or grated or ground nutmeg.
Let cool, then refrigerate in a covered container for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
