A chicken and mushroom pie could be thickened by any one of several starches. You could prepare a roux, an equal mix of either butter or margarine and flour, brown the roux slightly to remove the "flour" taste, and use the flour to thicken the pie. You could also use cornstarch, mix it in a small amount of cold liquid first, then once mixed in, you can add it to the warmer pie mixture. You could also use potato starch to thicken the pie if you have the powdered form, or if you have actual potatoes in the pie, and they are a more starchy variety such as russets, they will release a certain amount of starch into the pie, as well as absorbing a certain amount of liquid themselves.
