Its almost entirely made from plants

And like, even if it was dinosaurs, Dirt is also (partially) made from decayed animals. And, oversimplifying, that dirt becomes plants.

And that's all fine for vegans, because it doesn't involve exploitation of animals. Like, if you needed to raise and kill animals to use their corpses to grow plants, that'd be animal exploitation.

Good thing yeast is technically not an animal.

Fungi is closer related to animals than plants.

So in your mind that makes fungi capable of feeling just like animals?

When I eat magic mushrooms, I feel like fungi are capable of feeling all kinds of weird shit tbh

Yeah, creepy right? Just wanted to note we eat the fruit of the fungi. The mycelium would be the "living" part.
