Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they’re… creepy…

I mean they are definitely inside our understandig. They‘re just not animals or plants, but fungi. With all the diversity we have on earth it probably make sense that we have organisms that aren‘t classified as either animals or plants.

And it’s not like we don’t love other fungus. Any yeasty bread contains fungus (yeasty breads include most nonquick beads or flat breads and like cinnamon rolls or pizza crust).
