Soak wild mushrooms in warm water for 1/2 hour. Cover and refrigerated the night before making sauce. ( if in a hurry, mushrooms may be soaked and unrefrigerated 1/2 hour before making sauce.
Remove mushrooms from liquid, saving liquid. Finely chop mushrooms.
In a large frying pan, add olive oil, shallots garlic and mushrooms. Sauce over medium high heat until shallots are lightly browned. Pour wine into pan to deglaze and reduce by 1/2 volume.

Add mushroom juice and chicken broth, then herbs, Worcestershire and mustard.
