Champignons are Mushrooms, yes. But the lingustical problem arises, 
since Mushrooms also are Fungii in American. I Sweden we have a 
zillion varieties of fungii, so we are very particular about 
specifying what kind is used. To be frank, I think champignons are 
quite boring comparably.

The buillon cube is the lazy way of making a "fond" or "foundation" 
or whatever you call it. The "real" cook of course takes half a day 
boiling a consommé out of the fish head and the rest of the unedible 
parts with various spices.
