Continue cooking about five minutes, stirring. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring, five minutes longer.

While the lemon on the mushrooms did brighten this up, it is still white sauce with mushrooms. I did not have heavy cream so used all milk. At the end I added at least 1/2 cup dry white wine which helped loosen it but this was nothing special for me.
This was great! I used 1 1/2 cups of Juices from a 27-hour Sous Vide cook of a beef chuck roast...substituting for milk and broth. Then added the 1/4 c. of heavy cream. It's a simple, excellent recipe. Thanks! (Next time, when I have milk, I'll make it exactly as above.)
This is a keeper. I made it as is except I used half & half in place of the milk and cream. Made a delicious sauce for beef tenderloin.
