Brown Beech Mushrooms - Calorie Confusion?

The calories on the 150g package of brown beech mushrooms I ate today showed that there were 130kcal per 100g serving. That seems very high to me, and when I compared it to the estimated calorie account on MFP, it was 600% more calories per a serving of that kind. Are kcals different than calories?

    calories and kcals refer to the same thing. Were the mushrooms raw or in a sauce?
