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 the rice and onion mixture; bring to a boil. Cover; turn heat to low; cook for 45 minutes or until broth is absorbed.
While rice is cooking, prepare the mushrooms.
Heat a large skillet and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, 1/2 t. salt and 1/2 t. pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned, about 8 minutes. Add wine; cook until evaporated, about 4-5 minutes. When rice is done, fluff with a fork, fold in mushrooms and fresh chives.
Serve, hot or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.
