Yes. All living things have a mitochondria, which means that they all use ATP's and cellular respiration.

Common food mushrooms do contain small amounts of protein, as well as carbohydrates and fats. A one-cup (156 g) serving of prepared canned mushrooms contains 2.9 grams of protein, which provides 7.6 calories, about 20% of the total 39 calories for the serving.

Do mushrooms have protein?

Mushrooms do contain protein, but not nearly as much as meats. Mushrooms contain around 3 grams of protein per 100 grams. Meats such as beef, lamb and pork contain around 20 to 30 grams of protein per 100 grams. Chicken contains around the same protein as meats. Fish is slightly lower, but at around 15 to 20 grams per 100 grams it clearly beats mushrooms. Mushrooms obtained their reputation as 'meat for vegetarians' because of the relatively high content of Vitamin B 12 in some varieties. It is unclear whether the vitamin B12 is found in the fungi itself, or in the fertilizer in which mushrooms are grown!
