There may not be any strong correlation but I think it's always best to look at things like these with the intent to learn what you can as opposed to looking for flaws. Now, that doesn't mean you dismiss what flaws you find, just don't let those get in the way of what might be learned or what deserves more attention. I've not read the article, just the comments here, but I have grown my own shiitake mushrooms, and a lot of them. So I've eaten a lot of them too. I think most people probably don't pay much attention to how foods makes them "feel", but I do and I have for a very long time. Shiitake make me feel good.
