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

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.
Yes, it is.

We should measure the protein density at a meaningful state for consumption.

While you can eat some mushrooms fresh and dry, their water density when fried is somewhere in the middle. Closer to dry when processed.
