Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, dried red pepper and thyme; saute 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Add shiitake and button mushrooms and saute until brown, about 10 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice and simmer 2 minutes. Mix in sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.)

Mix in basil and 2 tablespoons butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange baguette slices in single layer on baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; maintain oven temperature. Brush each baguette slice with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven; bake until cheese begins to melt, about 5 minutes.

Serve warm crostini with goat cheese and mushroom mixture.
