My grandma never used the word "duxelles," but that is, in essence, what she made, to stuff inside puff pastry purses every holiday. "Mushroom puffs!" we called them. These days, I use the spread for those, plus just about anything: stirred into scrambled eggs, spread on a grilled cheese, mixed into mayo for a sandwich, set out with a plate of crackers for a snack.
