Add a little oil, and a few minutes in a frying pan or microwave will do it. Maillard reaction (browning) starts at around 140°C and shiitake aren’t exactly thick, so they won’t take much longer than it takes to get some extra colour on them. Average frypan and oven temp is usually around 180°C, so it’s not something you really need to think or worry about.
They also think you need a certain hypersensitivity for this to happen. If this were a significant risk, there would be huge amounts of cases in East Asia. This case became a science tabloid spam piece because it’s so unusual.
Easy. Just pressure cook it at 4.5 bar (65 Psi) in your industrial grade pressure cooker.
Being realistic, I guess someone accidentally swapped Celsius and Farenheit?
EDIT: Nope, seem to be wrong. They do mean 145 degC. On the other hand, I found a source reporting that 57 % of a total of 58 cases of shiitake dermatitis actually thoroughly cooked their mushrooms. Cooking won’t save you from this, as it seems.

How the fuck do I cook something at 145°C?
