Heat butter in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 3/4 t. salt; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add wild rice blend; saute, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds. Add vegetable broth to rice and onion mixture; bring to a boil; cover; turn heat to low. Cook for 45 minutes or until the broth is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the mushrooms.
Heat a large skillet in olive oil over medium-high heat; add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 8 minutes. Add wine; cook until evaporated, about 4-5 minutes.
When the rice is done, fluff with a fork; fold in mushrooms and chives.
Serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
