There must an uncanny valley for meat, where it's just not great when you're trying to fake it perfectly.
Mushroom burgers already exist and they're delicious. I also like the meat burgers, they absolutely don't taste the same, but each side is still great.
If we can get more variety on the mushroom side with different textures, tastes, juiciness etc. it would be incredible, and it doesn't need to be red and meat like.
