I had a likewise senescent portion of an onion, which I sliced thinly.
When the mushrooms were done, I squeezed them against the side of the
pan to release some of the butter and moved them into a storage bowl.
Then I sweated and browned the onion in the remaining butter, with
additional salt and pepper.  The volume of onion was about equal
to the volume of mushrooms; I mixed them together.

Yes, I think that would be excellent.

I'll put a spoonful on a burger today at lunch.

The remainder will be stored until perhaps Friday, when I'll put it
on toast, top it with Gruyere cheese and melt the cheese on top.
Perhaps I'll spread the toast with a thin schmear of Dijon mustard,
for brightness.

Now I'm just waiting for my husband to come in from the workshop
and throw a wobbler because I created the odor of mushrooms in
the house.

"throw a wobbler"? like when my wife and i were newlyweds and she
had a tendency to throw things at me during heated arguments and
miss? replacing borken telephones gets expensive when you're barely
making ends meet to begin with. of course money was the root of
most of them. :P

"Throw a wobbler" is British slang for "pitch a fit".  I picked it
up from reading Terry Pratchett.
