    Yes but you don’t dehydrate the food. And you’re not eating multiple kgs of mushrooms in a single sitting, which you would need to get anywhere close to the total amount of protein in other ‘protein’ options

      You kinda do unless you eat then raw. Cooking removes water content.

      Cooked beef has 26-35 grams of protein per 100g. Uncooked like 20, and beef doesn’t contain as much water as mushrooms do.

      I’d say it’s acceptable to have them in the high protein part, as macro-wise, they are.
