Not sure if the 145°C is a citation/translation error by the site. If the mushroom is boiled in water (e.g. hotpot), it will never reach those temperatures.
I got it from the quote in the article from the author of the NEJM paper. You’re correct, but this seems to also happen in maybe 2% of people, and there’s a good chance 145C is only needed to be absolutely certain all sugars have 100% broken down. Hotpots might still get rid of most of it at 100C. I’m not a polysaccharine decomposition expert though, even though I know they’re very heat-sensitive.
If you’re really worried (which you probably don’t need to be given it’s rarity), mushrooms can’t really be overcooked (unless you literally burn them), so nuking them in the microwave with a thin coat of oil or frying them off will help get them to temp if you want to be really certain.

It affects about 2% of people that consume the mushrooms raw or only lightly cooked… in people of all ages, … more often male than female.
…shiitake dermatitis is not seen with the ingestion of thoroughly cooked at a temperature > 145 C.

Searched for it, multiple sites give 130-145°C.
