  2. Bring soaking liquid and broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes. Add porcini, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms; cook 8 minutes or until tender.
  4. Add rice; sauté 1 minute. Stir in sage, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir in 1 cup broth mixture; cook 5 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed; stirring constantly. Add remaining broth mixture, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth mixture is absorbed before adding the next (about 25 minutes total).
  6. Remove from heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
