It was only in 1969 (nice) that fungi officially became its own separate kingdom.
If Pluto is a planet, then Ceres is a planet too. CERES RIGHTS!
Pluto is a mushroom
No, Pluto is a plant.
Fuck you op. Mushrooms are plants, Pluto is a planet, and that’s the truth from one edge of this flat Earth to the other.
~disclaimer: this is a joke~
I bet they don’t think Atlantis existed, either…
I 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.
Mushrooms are plants in the culinary sense. Like strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are berries in the culinary sense.
Yup. Inside culinary classifications, fungi don’t exist. Outside of culinary classifications, vegetables don’t exist.
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.
The mycelium, maybe. That is definitely not the part of the mushroom that you eat.
Actual animals are far more likely to feel pain that fungi. Do fungi even have a nervous system?
Fungi are a nervous system.
We actually suspect they do. They can also display intelligent behavior, from a certain definition of the concept.
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
Mushrooms have some protein, but not very much. They aren’t a very good source of protein
So are chickpeas or edamame meat to you? Because they have like 5 times as much protein by weight than mushrooms.
I 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
“GET MY PLANET’S NAME OUTTA YO MOUTH!”
…this would trigger a friend of mine so badly (fungi enthusiast and Pluto stan). I want to send it, but at the same time… I’m not sure I’d hear the end of it.
Send it and report back. I am interested in subscribing to their newsletter. you’ll let them know, right?
Well they use chitin not celulose for structure so definatly closer to animals than plants.
Similarly plate tectonics - not fully recognised until the 60s apparently.
From what I’ve seen, dudes that care that much about mushrooms are really fun guys.
Fun fact: mushrooms are closer to the animal kingdom than to the plant kingdom.
Yeah but we’re not eating the whole thing we’re just eating its sex organ
Except, in cheese and some sausages. Also, I’m not sure yeast counts, because it’s usually dead by the time we eat it in our food.
I have family in Streator, IL, home of Clyde Tombaugh, so we’re die hard planet pluto.
Pokemon
I’ve never even considered whether they’re plants or not. I guess I always assumed they were, but now it makes sense that they’re not. But I can’t imagine anyone having a tizzy over it either way.
Yes, I’ve encountered a few people like this. Also, no one has ever heard of Archaea.
