“Vegetables” makes no sense.

Tomatoes, grapes, apples, cucumber, pumpkin, eggplant, mushrooms, all fruits.

We are talking about “fruits” here which isnt even a term used to describe plants. Maybe in english, not in german.

mushrooms are not fruits in any sense. Fruiting body is applied colloquially however since spores are not fruits this is also incorrect.

However much like with calling a tomato a fruit, it’s perfectly clear to call the penis loo lookin’ thing a fruiting body and only derranged pedants are bothered by it.

Fruits are a specific part of the plant, the seed-bearing part (pods and ferns are the exceptions, I guess). Veggies are the rest of the plant. Mushrooms are fungi’s and all, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not plants
