Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced mushrooms until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook chopped onion until translucent (about 3 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in Arborio rice, cooking until edges are translucent (about 2 minutes).
Pour in dry white wine and stir until absorbed.
Gradually add warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more (approximately 18-20 minutes).
