For a perfect risotto, you should add the stock by the ladle, constantly stirring to release the starch. Add stock ladle by ladle every time it gets soaked up by the rice. This will make the rice naturally creamy, thuse reducing the need for cream. As for the mushrooms, try wild mushrooms such as porcini.
P.S. The chewy and soft texture is called "al dente" you hardly find that in Italian restaurants in q8.

thanx for the tip, and yes there's hardly any good italian restaurants in Kwt.
how do you check if your pasta is al dente? do you through it against the wall? and if it sticks it's al dente? :)
Ok this is how to check if its al dente.
#1 pick a bit with spoon
#2 open mouth
#3 Chew it to test for texture
if not ready, add more stock and go back to #1. If its overcooked go to #2 :p
I'll note it down..
Merci for za tip.
