Mushrooms are vegtables?!
Answers: or do they have there own fungus/fungi class
Mushrooms are fungi. Fungi were considered plants for many years, that's the way I learned in high school biology (1970s), but scientists eventually decided that fungi are a separate class from plants. Plants all contain chlorophyll, the stuff that gives plants their green color and keeps them alive. I remember learning that fungi were a weird type of plant that didn't produce chlorophyll, but now scientist's view has changed. That doesn't mean mushrooms are animals though; I would still say mushrooms are "plants" in a philosophical sense and "vegetables" in the culinary sense.
I can't remember all the classifications at the moment, but bacteria are not classified as animals anymore either. I think they were when I was in high school.
Science is a funny thing. It is drummed into our heads that science is some monolithic thing that can never be wrong, and then they change it around. Don't get me wrong, I love science, but I just find that rather ironic.
Fungus. But tasty fungus
It's a fungus which is entirely different from plants/vegetables. It has it's own kingdom classification.

They are classified as fungi, but fungi treated as vegetables under both Weight Watchers and the diabetic diet. They really have almost no calories, and since they are a type of plant, they are completely vegan.
If you mean animal, vegetable or mineral then definite vegetable.
Botanically, they are classified as in the Kingdom Fungi.
Fungi are regarded as vegetables in the culinary sense.
