Savory Steamed Yellow Squash With Mushrooms and Walnuts

A simple recipe to use with those plastic, microwave steamer bags. I find quite a bit of liquid is left in the bag after cooking, feel free to drain that off if desired and re-seasons with spices if needed, though I recommend trying it first before you drain it (the liquid adds a certain soup-like quality that I find is a nice compliment to the tender squash.)
