I wonder if there exists people who aggressively believe mushrooms are plants, similar to people who defend Pluto as a planet.

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

The mycelium, maybe. That is definitely not the part of the mushroom that you eat.

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??
