In medium sized frying pan simmer mushrooms, livers, garlic salt, paprika and onion in 1/4 cup of the butter for 5 minutes. Add wine, dill weed and hot pepper seasoning. Cover and simmer slowly 5 to 10 minutes, until livers are just firm. Cool slightly and pour into blender. Whirl smooth. Add remaining 1/2 cup butter and salt to taste. Pour into three cups or containers from which the pate can later be served. Chill thoroughly. (This will keep in refrigerator for a week or more, if tightly covered. In fact, it gets better with age!) Serve to spread on crackers.
