Brush with 2 to 2½ tablespoon dressing to coat the asparagus lightly.
Grill the aspragus and mushrooms, top side facing heat source, asparagus need about 6 minutes, mushrooms need about 9 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender-crisp and streaked with the light grill marks, or line up the spears and mushrooms in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, setting the sheet about 4 inches from the top and rotating the spears once halfway through, until tender and browned in some spots, about 8 minutes.
Cool the grilled or broiled mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes, then thinly slice the caps.
In a large platter or a large bowl, toss the sliced mushrooms with the remaining dressing until well and evenly coated.
Place the aspragus, mushrooms onto a serving platter, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, sprinkle with goat cheese.
Serve.
