Vermouth adds a little sweetness and acidity to the dish to balance the earthiness of the mushrooms.

Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add thyme sprigs; cook, stirring often, until fragrant and crackling, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Transfer 1/2 cup mushrooms to a small bowl; set aside. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the mushrooms in the pan; cook, stirring, until melted and foamy, about 1 minute. Add garlic and shallot; cook, stirring often, until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in vermouth; cook, stirring constantly, until the vermouth is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the warm broth mixture; cook, stirring often, until nearly absorbed, about 3 minutes. Continue adding the broth mixture, 3/4 cup at a time, stirring often, until the liquid is nearly absorbed between additions and the rice is al dente and creamy, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Stir in salt, 1/3 cup Parmesan and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the remaining warm broth mixture to loosen, if needed. Divide the risotto among 4 bowls; top with the reserved 1/2 cup mushrooms, the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and chives. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
