Short Answer:

Mushrooms and toadstools are examples of fungi. A mushroom is not an animal. A mushroom is not a vegetable.

Biological Classification:

In biological terms, fungi form a kingdom. The group of organisms we call fungi, includes yeasts and molds as well as mushrooms.

Plants have a separate kingdom. Animals have a separate kingdom.

Bacteria, protozoans, amoebas are in other kingdoms.

One major biological difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose.

In Biology the study of fungi is known as mycology.

Modern DNA analysis has been shown that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants, though very distant relatives we are.

What is truffle crab bisque?

Bisque is a creamy French soup, usually made with lobster and is heavily seasoned. Truffle is a kind of mushroom, very expensive, but has amazing depth of flavor, also is a very recognizable flavor to those who have had this fungi before. So I can only assume that, unless I am wrong about truffle crabs not being an actual type of crab, that a truffle crab bisque would be a crab bisque flavored with truffles in addition to other seasonings.
