Jaegersosse (Huntersauce)

I posted this to a request from my German cookbook. It is supposed to be good with spaetzle or noodles, schnitzel and game. I remember cooking it a long time ago and it was quite nice. If you find the indicated mushrooms too expensive, replace them with regular. It's a difference in taste, but also in your wallet :)
