  24      large         fresh mushrooms
   1      tablespoon    olive oil
     1/3  cup           green onions -- minced
     1/2  cup           Parmesan cheese -- fresh/grate
     1/2  cup           soft bread crumbs
     1/3  cup           toasted pecans -- minced
   2      tablespoons   fresh thyme -- minced

   2      ounces        goat cheese
                        vegetable cooking spray


   Clean mushrooms with damp paper towels.  Remove stems; reserving stems
for another use.
   Saute mushrooms caps in olive oil in a large skillet over medium high
heat for 5 minutes.  Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.  Add
green onions to skillet; saute over medium-high heat until tender.  Remove
from heat and stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and next four ingredients.
   Crumble goat cheese evenly into mushrooms caps.  Spoon breadcrumb
mixture evenly into mushroom caps over goat cheese and sprinkle evenly with
remaining Parmesan cheese.  Arrange mushrooms on rack of a broiler pan
coated with cooking spray.  Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat (with electric
oven door partially opened) for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned.   Per
