Mix the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper to make a marinade. Arrange the arugula on plates. Wash and dry the tomatoes, halve the cherry tomatoes, cut larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, and arrange them on top of the arugula. Quarter or eighth the mushrooms, depending on their size, sauté in a little oil, sprinkle with salt, and continue frying until the liquid has evaporated. Allow to cool slightly.
