I made gumbo z'herbes

I've made this several times. I used some ham for flavoring, but it would be good without that. Greens have a lot of flavor. I'd for this before the mushrooms, but if I were to add mushrooms to it, I'd probably sweat them a bit first so I didn't have too strong a mushroom taste. That would be a personal preference though. I like mushrooms, but I don't think I'd want that flavor too strong in the gumbo.
