"Heck, we could just be eating more mushrooms, they already are a pretty good source of protein. "

Definitely, but mushrooms and meat also go very well together..

And I am open towards engineered mushrooms, but I doubt they will result in meat. But maybe in something that can convince enough people to reduce their meat consumption by eating that instead.

TBH many of us are not looking for a replacement for meat. I personally want something that potentially tastes better, and don't really care for the "fake meat" marketing (don't need it to be red or meat like)

You're really missing out on the incredible variety of mushrooms.

Hen of the woods, fried with batter, is next level.

It's not bad, I know. But add some wild boar meat, and it gets even better ..

But I can also enjoy it without, yes.
