Trim and wash beans, then blanch them in boiling salted water for another 5 minutes. Drain and cut into 1 to 2 cm long pieces. Wither in pan a little olive oil and chopped garlic, without letting the garlic brown. Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, sprinkle with a little water that was kept aside, filtering it through a strainer lined with a damp towel. Add beans and cook everything for 5 minutes and let the remaining liquid vaporize completely. Boil the potatoes, placing them in cold and salty water. When they are warm, peel and mash with potato masher. Combine the mashed potatoes, green beans with mushrooms, Parmesan and butter in a bowl. Blend well and let cool.
