This was excellent stuffing, very addicting. I did not add the mushrooms and instead of regular pumpkin bread, I made Pumpkin Cranberry Bread. I also added Walnuts. I felt that the pumpkin bread may have been a tad too sweet for a stuffing so next time I will cut a little bit of the sugar out. (It was a lot like dessert). This really is a 5 star recipe and a MUST try. Thank you for the recipe, I will be making it again for Thanksgiving.
