In a 12-inch frying pan, over medium-high heat; stir bacon until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels.
Add 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil to pan over medium-high heat.
When hot; add onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Reduce heat to medium and stir frequently until onion is very soft and browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse chard.
Trim and discard stem ends.
Thinly slice stems crosswise and coarsely chop leaves.
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil.
Add chard and cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are tender-crisp to bite, 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain, place in a large bowl of ice water until cool, and drain again.
Add rice to onion and stir for about 3 minutes.
Add wine and stir over medium heat until absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add 6 cups chicken broth, a cup at a time, stirring after each addition until almost absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes total (rice should be “ al dente”).
Stir in parmesan cheese, butter, fried bacon, boiled chards and Galetti mushrooms.
Mix well for one minute and spoon risotto into wide, shallow bowls and serve
