Trim mushrooms; remove stems. Set caps aside.
Finely chop stems. In small bowl combine butter, onion and chopped stems.
Saute in large pan until butter melts and onion is tender, stirring from
time to time. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, bacon, cream cheese, and
horseradish. Add cayenne pepper is you'd like a spicy bite to the dish.
