The cream cheese mellows out the goat cheese, the vinegar in the mushrooms add a nice vibrant note, and the veal stock makes the flavor nice and silky. It's also very adaptable—you could really use any meaty mushrooms if you can't find shitake, oyster, AND cremini. Also, you end up with the equivalent of (almost) an extra log of herbed cheese, but if you throw it in the freezer, it'll be ready to use the next time you want to whip up the wild mushrooms. For a cocktail party, I'd top slices of baguette with the mushrooms and cheese, broil quickly, then set it all out.
