no. whoever told you that was just teasing you.
Yes, mushrooms are considered a vegetarian food because they are a type of fungus and do not come from animals.
The fungus reproduce by microscopic spores. These spores can be spread in the air and soil, where they can be inhaled or come in contact to surfaces.
The type of fungus that grows horizontal to food source are said to be heterotrophic. Such fungus do not process their own food.
A mushroom isn't in any food group, but if it had a food group it would be fungus.
the microbes in the moisture of a stale food attracts fungus to reproduce ,where the stale food becomes the substrata for the fungus to grow and multiply.
Fungus has the role of decomposer in a food chain it decomposes the dead organic material and feeds on it.
Fungus is useful because it can go into food! Like for example, Yeast goes into bread to make it rise, and that is a fungus.
The processed the food the less in nutrients they become. Cereals are considered a processed food.
It needs to be processed to make sure there it is not contaminated plus there is a law that makes everyone's food be processed and checked for health hazards.
Economics determines what food products will be processed and marketed. If there is a demand for a food, then food companies will produce it.
mushroom = fungus; fungus does not = plant
Fungus is not a plant because it cannot make its own food ") hope this helped ;)
