In same Dutch oven, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add shiitake and white mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are tender and golden, and liquid evaporates, about 12 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to bowl with vegetables.
Preheat oven to 325°.
In same Dutch oven, heat brown rice, broth, and remaining 1O cups water to boiling on high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Stir wild rice and vegetable mixtures into rice.
