NOTE: This is an easy and super-quick version of everyone's favourite topping combination. (If you can't find fresh wild mushrooms near you, look for the dehydrated ones in your produce aisle and re-hyrate with some hot water for a 10-15 minute soak.)
The spreadable cream cheese is a shortcut to extra garlic flavour but a classic, whipped cream cheese or mascarpone would be tasty too!
