"Bone broth had a big moment. For the past few years, dieters and biohackers have embraced it as the answer to staying full, repairing muscles and improving health. Bone broth has been popping up in grocery stores and cafés, being served in drinking vessels instead of soup bowls. But now a new food fad is making its way onto the health and wellness scene: mushroom broth. This plant-powered broth has comparable nutritional benefits, helping to improve gut health, boost the immune system and remineralize the body. Mushroom broth also has a beautiful savoury, nutty umami flavour. Delicious as a hot or cold drink, it can also be used wherever you would typically use stock, such as making soups and cooking grains."

"Strain contents through a sieve. Reserve broth. Discard everything except for the shiitake mushrooms, which can be saved for future dishes," says the recipe. So they'd even have us throw out the other two mushrooms in the recipe

I have never understood this about broth making. Soup recipes will tell us to use so much broth, then add carrots, onions, celery, etc. Well, why the heck did we throw those things away in the first place? If I cook 'em, I'm gonna eat 'em, not put them in the compost.
