Mushrooms tend to cause a little stir (and sometimes doubt and confusion) among vegans because mushrooms are more closely related to animals than to plants on the account that they are fungi (yeast). Most vegans and vegetarians include mushrooms in their diet because mushrooms aren't animals as how we know or understand them.However, for strict vegans, there's a whole lot of difference on whether it's an animal or a form of animal.In order for something to feel pain, it has to have a nervous system. And for this nervous system to work, it has to be wired or connected to a brain. Since mushrooms don't have brains, it's safe to say that they do not feel pain when they're plucked.Mushrooms tend to cause a little stir (and sometimes doubt and confusion) among vegans because mushrooms are more closely related to animals than to plants on the account that they are fungi (yeast).
