Is a mushroom a plant

Answer 1

Seeing as mushrooms are not even plants, no they are not flowering plants. They are fungi.

Answer 2

No, it is not a plant. For a start, fungi have no seeds (they do release spores that then germinate and starts growing) and are grown on trees or in the soil. They also don't need sunlight to grow. They are the fruiting bodies of fungi.

Mushrooms are the fruiting body seen above ground of a fungus. Plants are green and since these are not, they are classified in their own group called a species.
No - mushrooms are in their own classification. They are not plants because they do not produce pollen, nor do they have male and female parts. They reproduce by simply releasing spores into the air, which form new fungi.

Answer 3

Mushrooms are not plants! Recently it has been discovered that they are more closely related to animals. But at one time, Fungi, including mushrooms, were believed to be close relatives of plants so much of their nomenclature (names for parts of the mushroom) are close to the names used for plant parts. It is the fruit (like an apple) of the mushroom "body" and contain mushroom "seeds" called spores. The body of the mushroom in called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. Since the body of the mushroom is usually dispersed over a relatively large area it is rarely noticed. In nature some species of mushrooms may have a body that spreads over hundreds of square miles!

Answer 4

No, a mushroom is not considered a plant. Mushrooms belong to the fungi kingdom, which is a separate group of organisms distinct from plants. Mushrooms obtain nutrients through decomposing organic matter, while plants undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food.
