Because mushrooms are NOT "super high in protein".

A comparable serving of beef has about 12x the amount of protein as mushrooms.

This. Beans, lentils and friends if you're after vegetable protein.

This reads like your friends are not made of meat.

When you compare mushroom dry weight, it is more like 10-25% protein. This is without any industrial processing.

[tsimionescu]

Is that relevant? You don't eat dried mushrooms, even if you start with them you have to hidrate them a lot before they are any good.

12x? Isn't beef approximately 2/3 protein and mushrooms 1/2 protein?

[pjscott]

Mushrooms are about 90% water, but the non-water part is indeed roughly half protein.
