1. Preheat the oven  390 degrees F (200 degrees C). 
2. Wash the potatoes and them dry using paper towels. Pierce each potato with a fork. 
3. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. 
4. In medium skillet, fry the mushrooms in some cooking oil. 
5. Take the ready baked potatoes from the oven and cut in halves. Using a teaspoon take out some of the potato (place it in a small bowl and set it aside), in order to make a small deepening for the filling. Butter the potato halves from the inside and outside.

Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and bake for 5 minutes until the top is golden.
