Heat butter and olive oil in a wide bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until its just starting to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes, not stirring at all. Add onions and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and celery root, cook for 1 minute. Add sherry and cook until almost gone, about 30-45 seconds. Add stock and reduce by half. Remove from heat. Add thyme, sage, and kale. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and pour into a large bowl. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In another bowl, whisk together mascarpone, eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add bread to mushrooms and mix thoroughly. Add egg mixture and half of the cheese. Toss together and place into a baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
