Béchamel sauce is the most likely base of Sally's creamy mushroom sauce. Béchamel is a classic white sauce made from a roux (butter and flour) and milk. It is often used as the base for creamy sauces, which fits the description of Sally's favorite dish. Velouté and Espagnole, while also made from a roux, are typically not creamy; Velouté is made with stock and Espagnole is a brown sauce with tomatoes and a strong meat stock base. Tomate is a tomato-based sauce and would not be the base for a creamy mushroom sauce.
