Mushroom Burgers

so I had the best Mushroom burger a while back at Grizzly Peaks in Ann Arbor. Since that time I have wanted to try making them, because NONE I have found in the groceries even come close....
I couldn't find anything on the web that sounded like theirs (which their menu said had mushrooms, parmesan & cream cheese), so I tried to merge that with some recipe concepts off the web....
