Can vegans eat fungi?

[Kokolums]

Im confused about the definition of vegan. Is it they cannot eat meat or must they only eat plants? Can they eat fungi or a nice flagellate stew?

[Symphonic]

It probably depends on if that fungi has consumed any animals. There's probably a fungi that has only consumed plants, right?

[Gamdwelf]

Fungi are not classified as animals bro.

[Dug]

Nothing sentient basically

[monkmastaeq]

Well they shouldn't eat anything since its all alive, true believers only eat fruit dropped from trees at the natural time, aka Fruitarian

otherwise you're a dirty murderer

Since they grow from animal feces they are technically animal products.

[AwkwardSquirtle]

Probably varies by vegan, but I gather it's nothing that harms animals. Funghi aren't animals or plants, they're something else, so I assume they're fine. It's not that they won't eat anything living, as that would obviously include plants.

Soil is made from animal suffering! By eating plants, vegans promote animal cruelty.

Fungi don't have to, and plants def can.

I can't take anyone but Frugivores serious. Everyone else is just going half the way for their own entertainment and to stroke their own ego.

[Molis]

They cast a shadow so no.

[Revik]

As long as it doesn't scream when you kill it it is OK.

Rocks. I can only think of a few edible rocks. It wouldn't be a very good diet though...

[Underverse]

Yes. In fact, the only non-supplemental way to get adequate B12 in a vegan diet is via rare fungi. Moreover, nutritional yeast has long been seen as a vegan staple.

I wonder what the closest common ancestor between brewer's yeast and humans? Whatever it is, I want to congratulate it.

The real question is, do Vegan mothers breast feed.

[Deleted]

Yes they can, though some don't want to. Fungi are not sentient. Some vegans also eat bivalves, they're not plants but they aren't sentient either. Though that seems to be a gray area and enough vegans will crucify you for it.

[Elim Garak]

They certainly can, but they must not.

Most vegans see human breast milk as natural and "healthy" for small children. They see cow milk as inherently unhealthy as it is not 'meant for human consumption'.
