This is the most pathetic thing and clearly the work of the meat industry/insecure meet-free sceptics. Someone at work was bleating on in glib delight about this article when I was putting my lunch into the fridge this morning. "I accidently bought some shroom dogs from sainsbury's the other day and had to throw them out - it ruined my sunday dinner"
me: "did you at least try them if not that's a ridiculous waste?"
them: "fuck no, disgusting rubbish shouldn't be in the same shop as real meat or allowed to be called sausages".
Me: "they are called shroom dogs, not sausages - you clearly didn't look properly"
them: "they look too real and shouldn't be in the same aisle/shop. Why do you want anthing like meat in the first place"

Yea.
I actually wasn't aware of that German court decision from 2017 that is mentioned in that article @kl posted.
Just read that Guardian piece and a few pages & comments to the relevant Die Zeit article .
Made my fucking head hurt.
I've checked the date on this article, and it's not 1 April.
