The company said the explosive growth of delivery demand makes it critical to get restaurant locations even closer to customers for faster delivery times
I get what you mean, but that is probably a bad analogy. Let me explain.
Just because a mushroom is poisonous doesn’t mean its mycelium living underground isn’t essential for all the plants and trees in the area. Depending on the species, mycelium can carry warning signals between different plants, boost the health of the plant, increase fruiting yields and even fend off other damaging fungi and bacteria. There is even a type that will make little hyphae lassos to trap and consume nematodes that can destroy some root systems.
McDonald’s does none of those things for humans, even in an off-handed analogy kind of way, unfortunately. It anything, a poisonous outcrop of mushrooms gives back more to its local ecosystem than a Big Mac ever has.

Fungi are so misunderstood… ;)
McD and poison mushrooms do the same to humans: poison them. End of analogy.
I have an idea on how important of a role fungi play in nature and it’s one of those life forms I really enjoy finding in wild.
