Actually, since Elves have [KILL_PLANT:UNTHINKABLE], they should probably care about giant mushrooms, too.

Yes. Elves don't have high school biology, of course, otherwise they wouldn't bother with mushrooms.

You don't need to have taken a biology class to realize fungi aren't plants...

They're elves. They'd probably believe that rocks, since they "grow out of the ground", are plants, except that you can't eat them.

Took us a fair bit as a species to realize that they weren't plants though.  Granted, we realized that they were a very different sort of plant, but we still thought they were plants.

I should go figure out when they stopped thinking of fungi as a subset of plants.

And, hey, they're still classed as vegetables, nutritionally. Which are colloquially identified as plant-matter....

There was a funny bit in 2001 where the man-ape Moongazer equates the monolith with mushrooms, because it sprung up out of the ground overnight. "Perhaps it was good to eat."
