Using a sharp knife, remove brown gills from the undersides of portabella mushrooms; discard gills. Remove and reserve stems from portabella, shiitake, and more mushrooms.

Place in a large 8-quart Dutch oven or stockpot; set aside. Repeat procedure with 2 teaspoons olive oil and remaining rabbit legs. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot pieces and next 5 ingredients; saute 12 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned. Add carrot mixture to Dutch oven. Stir in reserved mushroom stems and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour. Remove rabbit legs; set aside, and keep warm. Strain stock through a colander into a large bowl, and set stock aside. Discard solids. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in skillet over medium heat.
