Method:
In a medium sauce pan, bring water to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to a slow simmer.
Add salt and butter.
Once butter has melted pour cornmeal slowly into water, a little at a time, stirring with a wire whisk or wooden spoon.
Cook for about 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until it has thickened to desired consistency and ground polenta bits are soft.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese until well blended.
Set aside with lid on.
Wash and slice mushrooms.
In a large skillet over medium high heat add the butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté on medium high until water from mushrooms cook off.
