I feel like we should be trying to engineer fusarium venenatum to express various animal proteins.

It already does a really good job as a meat substitute, and (unlike lab grown meat) the process for culturing it is very well understood and mature.

I don't know if trying to genetically engineer a fungus would present any special challenges vs a plant or bacteria though.
