    “Vegetables” makes no sense.

    Tomatoes, grapes, apples, cucumber, pumpkin, eggplant, mushrooms, all fruits.

        We are talking about “fruits” here which isnt even a term used to describe plants. Maybe in english, not in german.

          Fruits are a specific part of the plant, the seed-bearing part (pods and ferns are the exceptions, I guess). Veggies are the rest of the plant. Mushrooms are fungi’s and all, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not plants

        • mushrooms are not fruits in any sense. Fruiting body is applied colloquially however since spores are not fruits this is also incorrect.

          However much like with calling a tomato a fruit, it’s perfectly clear to call the penis loo lookin’ thing a fruiting body and only derranged pedants are bothered by it.
