Is a mushroom a vegetable or meat?!
Answers: it is a fungus, there are many types. it comes from a mycelium fungus that decomposes material and then when it is in its prime mushrooms grow from it and they open up and spread spores to reproduce. it doesnt live off sunlight so its not a plant or vegetable and its not an animal.

A fungus. Fungi were originally classified as plants and that's why mushrooms are in the vegetable section.
Did you know that mushrooms contain chitin? Green plants don't. Chitin is what makes up the exoskeleton of insects, lobsters, etc. So mushrooms DO have something in common with animals.
A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, hence the word mushroom is most often applied to fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap just as do store-bought white mushrooms. However, "mushroom" can also refer to a wide variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word. Forms deviating from the standard form usually have more specific names, such as "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their placement in the order Agaricales. By extension, "mushroom" can also designate the entire fungus when in culture or the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms.
vegetarians call it the meat of vegetables so you can take your pick,
cheers
neither. it is a fungi which is another group of living things. It is not a plant or an animal :)
If you are going to classify it as animal , vegetable or mineral then it would be classified as a vegetable.
