I'm going to speculate it's not very high. Mushrooms are too scarce to have ever constistuted a significant amount of our caloric intake so there's rarely been an incentive to get "efficient" at metabolising mycoprotein.
On the other hand, in terms of genetic material, fungus is more alike humans than plants themselves. Maybe that means the particular proteins aren't that unrelated and hence more bioavailable?
