Tips:

Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your sauce the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're sautéing the mushrooms, be sure to give them plenty of room in the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing and they won't get brown.
Cook the mushrooms until they're browned. Don't rush the process of sautéing the mushrooms. Cook them until they're browned and slightly caramelized. This will give them a richer flavor.
Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use in the sauce will make a big difference in the flavor. Choose a dry, white wine that you enjoy drinking.
Don't boil the sauce. Once you've added the cream to the sauce, be sure to heat it through gently. Don't let it boil, or the cream will curdle.
Season the sauce to taste. Once the sauce is cooked, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This creamy herb mushroom sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy sauce to make, give this creamy herb mushroom sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
