Amy's Comments: My supermarket didn't have any shiitake mushrooms, so I used all portobellos (some sliced, some chunked). This was a pretty rich dip and did not taste light! To be honest with you, I didn't eat much of it but @ the end of the night, it was gone! So my guests give it 2 thumbs up! Also can't beat the points!
