It was only in 1969 (nice) that fungi officially became its own separate kingdom.

    If anything is close to having a consciousness and experiencing an array of emotion, including suffering. That’s a mushroom, much more than a plant.

        so 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??

      Actual animals are far more likely to feel pain that fungi. Do fungi even have a nervous system?

      First time hearing this but mushroom is a protein source so from diet perspective, I see it as a meet type food. Deff not vegatable

        So are chickpeas or edamame meat to you? Because they have like 5 times as much protein by weight than mushrooms.

        Mushrooms have some protein, but not very much. They aren’t a very good source of protein
