Nothing is 100% vegan. Animals have existed on this planet for hundreds of millions of years, and they are a part of its composition. Soil is just fully decomposed plants and animals. No matter how vegan you want to be, you can’t escape eating something that has fed on animal parts directly or indirectly.
If no, what about coprophagic mushrooms (I’m not aware of any fungi that are both edible and coprophagic and also produce fruiting bodies aka mushrooms big enough to possibly harvest)?
Are carnivores plants vegan? Genuinely curious, never looked into it.
Many fertilizers are made from animal products. Are veggies grown with those fertilizers vegan?

My point being that many fertilizers are a product of factory farming. Something that vegans are very much against.
I have heard there are vegans who won’t eat figs since there’s a decent chance of a dead wasp in a fig due to how fig wasps procreate.
Figs you buy in stores don’t have dead wasps in them. But yes, there varieties of figs that do and there aren’t vegan.
If no, what about coprophagic mushrooms (I’m not aware of any fungi that are both edible and coprophagic and also produce fruiting bodies aka mushrooms big enough to possibly harvest)?
Depends what you consider edible. Some varieties of psilocybe grow directly on poop.
Hm, I might have chosen the wrong adjective there. I meant fungi that decompose corpses
Plants aren’t sentient, so yes.
they feel pain, communicate, reproduce, move around, why are plants any different than animals? honest question
Plants may react to damage, but that isn’t the same thing as pain. Plants don’t have a brain or a central nervous system.

Neither do jellyfish and many other animals. Veganism is just arbitrary lunacy.
