1. Heat oil in 12" skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add maitakes and cook, without stirring, until mushrooms begin to wilt at edges, 2-3 minutes. Gently stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are well browned and crisp, 7-9 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, transfer to bowl, and set aside until serving (do not wash skillet).

2. Add porcini mushrooms, shallot, and garlic to food processor and process until finely chopped, 10-15 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl halfway through processing. Add white mushrooms and process until very finely chopped, 40-55 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl halfway through processing.

3. Add butter to now-empty skillet and heat over medium heat until butter is foaming, 1-2 minutes. Add mushroom mixture and 1 tsp salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms have darkened in color, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream, pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside.

4. Bring water to boil in large Dutch oven. Stir in pasta and 1 tsp salt. Adjust heat to medium so water is at gentle boil and cook partially covered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is just shy of al dente, 6-8 minutes (there will be about ½" cooking water in bottom of pot). Do not drain pasta.

5. Remove pot from heat. Add duxelles and Pecorino and stir vigorously until pasta is coated in lightly thickened sauce, 1-2 minutes (sauce will thicken as it cools). Transfer pasta to serving bowl. Top with crispy mushrooms and parsley. Serve immediately.
