Drizzle the mushrooms with olive oil , sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes. Set them aside.
Fry the bacon until CHEWY, not crisp. Chop into bits and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, saute the onions in 1 tablespoon of butter, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
Grate the parmesan, gruyere and fontina cheeses. Unwrap the goat cheese.
Cook the macaroni until just undercooked. Drain and set aside.
To make the sauce, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking to combine. Let the roux cook for a minute or so, whisking constantly. Pour in the milk, whisking constantly, then cook for 3-5 minutes, or until thick and bubbly.
Add the half and half, 1 teaspoon of salt, plenty of black pepper, and stir to combine. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the hot white sauce into a small bowl containing the beaten egg, stirring the egg with a fork as you drizzle it in. Once combined, pour the mixture into the pot with the white sauce, stirring constantly. Add all the cheeses in and stir them to melt. Add the cooked macaroni and stir to coat. Splash in a little milk or hot water as needed for thinning.
Butter a 9 x 13 pan generously. Lay half the cooked onions in the bottom of the pan, followed by half the macaroni, half the mushrooms, half the blue cheese, and half the bacon. Repeat, ending with bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until bubbly and hot.
