Wild Mushroom Pizza

*Asha*'s Note:

I love pizza and mushroom topping is my favorite. This could be a main meal or light lunch. Shredded Asiago cheese also goes great melted on top of pizza.

This was pretty good, but unfortunately, it just really wasn't to our tastes. I can't really imagine why--we love mushrooms and garlic. We used oyster, shiitake, and chantarelle. The mushroom mixture was tasty, but it just didn't work as a pizza topping for us. I would recommend people who love mushrooms still try it. If I were to try it again, I'd probably use a mix of only European mushrooms--no shiitake. I'd also use some kind of sauce and/or mozzarella under the mushrooms mixture.
