Mushrooms aren’t technically vegetables, but do they still fall in line with the Vegetable group in culinary?

We put them with the vegetables in work, but tbh I think the culinary distinctions between fruit/salad/vegetable is pretty arbitrary and more to do with how you eat the product rather than anything to do with the product itself. Hence why tomatoes and avocados are always found with the salad although technically being fruit.

Edited by Hawk_Man!: 5/11/2021 4:36:46 AMI look at it as a fruit. Strangely enough mushrooms are the fruit or seed bearing part of the fungi. The plant is in the soil or rotting material like compost.

Edited by RollTide2235: 5/11/2021 12:22:26 AMI think most people in the culinary world place them into the vegetable category even though they are fungi. That’s been my observation anyway from the many hours that I’ve watched Food network

Edited by Cobravert: 5/10/2021 11:12:06 PMIt is considered as a plant, though it technically isn't one. It's always in the produce aisle in the grocery store. So vegetable, until they become sentient...
