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.
