Recently I held a poll and asked what recipe would you like to see most. I was surprised that you chose Mushroom Risotto, but it was an excellent choice.
Mushroom Risotto is an amazing dish! It is extremely rich and filling.
The reason that it tastes unlike anything else is because Risotto, or Arborio rice is softer on the outside than on the inside. If you cook it properly, it will take on the flavor of the food that surrounds it.
