In large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat for 7 to 8 minutes, or until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) of bacon fat. In same skillet, add shallots, reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook another minute. Transfer to large bowl and cool to room temperature. Add goat cheese and walnuts. Mix well. Stir in parsley.
Place heaping teaspoon (5 mL) of filling in each mushroom. Bake at 375ºF (190ºC) for 10 minutes or until heated through.
