Gradually stir in milk, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and is smooth. With rubber spatula, gently stir in broccoli, cheese, mushrooms, tuna; spoon mixture into 2-quart casserole.
3. Prepare piecrust mix as label directs for 1-crust pie. On lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll dough into a round about 1 1/2 inches larger all around than top of casserole. Place pastry loosely over tuna mixture. With kitchen shears, trim pastry edge, leaving 1-inch overhang; fold overhang under and press gently all around casserole rim to make a high stand-up edge. Cut slits in pastry top. Reroll trimmings. With leaf-shaped cookie cutter, cut several leaves. Score several lines on leaves to resemble veins; arrange leaves on top of pie.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix egg yolk with water. Brush pastry with egg-yolk mixture. Bake casserole 40 minutes or until crust is golden and mixture is heated through.
