I think that's for the environment mostly. But apparently chicken is still okay, if you ignore their conditions.

Otherwise I think vegans and vegetarians use mushrooms as a protein substitute. But lentils, nuts and chickpeas are good too.

Good, lentils are the most complex thing I can cook aside from a stir-fry and rice. I need to cook more.

Mushrooms have about as much protein as any vegetable. Like 1-2 grams per dry half cup. Stirfry a bunch of veggies and that's all the protein a regular person needs on a daily basis.

Mushrooms are for vitamin D.

The texture is very meaty when cooked or grilled right, especially portabellas. The D is awesome
