No, it is neither meat, i.e. belonging to the Animalia kingdom, nor vegetable or plant, i.e. belonging to the Plantae kingdom.

It is, like yeast, a fungi, i.e a member of the Fungi kingdom, and so pays fealty to the Fungi Monarch, King Marmitus Penicillius Roqueforti XVII.

Genetic studies have shown that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants.
