Steps:
- Drain the wheat berries. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Stir in the wheat berries and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Lower the heat and simmer, partly covered, 20 minutes. Stir in the barley and rice. Partly cover, and cook until the grains are just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool.
- Meanwhile, bring another medium saucepan of water to a boil. Stir in the lentils and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt. Lower the heat and simmer, partly covered, until the lentils are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool. In a large bowl, combine the grains and lentils.
- In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, 3/4 cup of the olive oil, the vinegar, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Puree until smooth. Pour the dressing over the grains and lentils, and toss. The salad can be prepared to this point 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate, but let the salad return to room temperature before proceeding. Add the mushrooms to the salad and toss well. Adjust the seasoning, and add oil if the salad seems dry. Garnish with basil sprigs.
