In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add scallions and chile and cook for more 2 minutes until softened. Add the clams and wine and cook uncovered, stirring until about half are open, about 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until all of the clams are open and shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes longer. Serve in deep bowls with bread to sop up the sauce.
