Cook the spaghetti al dente, drain, and return it to the pot. While the spaghetti is cooking, dice the bacon and lightly brown it in a pan over medium heat. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Fry the mushrooms in the remaining fat until softened, about 3 minutes. Whisk the cream and eggs together and add to the spaghetti in the pot along with the mushrooms, bacon, and oregano.
