I’m studying biotech and every time someone brings up mushrooms our current professor will look either extremely excited or pained and go “listen… mushrooms are neither plants nor animals nor something in between.

Some are so closely related to humans that eating them may cause an allergic reaction against your own body. I cannot teach you about the mushrooms”
