minus-squareFonzie!linkfedilink81•3 months agoI overheard someone talking about veganism and said they only eat plants. I asked them about mushrooms, “of course it’s fine, those are plants”. No amount of convincing worked. So I’ve seen it once.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish69•3 months agoMushrooms are plants in the culinary sense. Like strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are berries in the culinary sense.
minus-square@kn33linkEnglish51•3 months agoYup. Inside culinary classifications, fungi don’t exist. Outside of culinary classifications, vegetables don’t exist.
minus-squareFonzie!linkfedilink13•3 months agoCulinary definition doesn’t differentiate plants, but mushrooms are vegetables.
minus-square@dustyDatalink10•3 months agoIf anything is close to having a consciousness and experiencing an array of emotion, including suffering. That’s a mushroom, much more than a plant.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•3 months agoThe mycelium, maybe. That is definitely not the part of the mushroom that you eat.
minus-square@shneancylink1•edit-23 months agoso hang on, mushrooms are like uh, well not milk, but as if say a cow regrew its meat every season? or maybe like a lizard that regrows its tail? mushrooms are weird, man wild idea, would it be possible to hijack mycelium with animal DNA and make it grow mushroom shaped meat??
minus-squareJackGreenEarthlinkfedilinkEnglish9•3 months agoActual animals are far more likely to feel pain that fungi. Do fungi even have a nervous system?
minus-square@dustyDatalinkEnglish8•3 months agoWe actually suspect they do. They can also display intelligent behavior, from a certain definition of the concept.
minus-squareAlexanderESmithlinkfedilink4•3 months agoDepends on what you include in that classification
minus-squaresunzu2linkfedilink-8•3 months agoFirst time hearing this but mushroom is a protein source so from diet perspective, I see it as a meet type food. Deff not vegatable
minus-squareteftlink19•edit-23 months agoSo are chickpeas or edamame meat to you? Because they have like 5 times as much protein by weight than mushrooms.
minus-squaresunzu2linkfedilink-10•3 months agoI would go with, based totally on feelz, that no because it generally note used like that. As you think is all super science here, trust me bro

Separate culinary definitions? That’s nuts!
But not peanuts, which are legumes.
Or the stone fruit, coconuts.
