From a scientists point of view, it's neither. Vegetables come from the kingdom of plantae, and meats come from the kingdom animalia.
From a dieticians point of view, it is a meat. Mushrooms provide a wealth of amino acids and proteins that plants alone cannot provide. In fact, if there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life and not have any significant nutritional deficiencies, it's mushrooms. Even meat can't do this. (I advise against this, it is mushroom type specific, as you can get too many trace minerals from the wrong ones.)
I am more of a scientist, but if you don't want to get nit-picky or if you're planning out a balanced diet, consider them meat.
