A weird thought.
    #16674364 - 08/09/12 11:43 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

When you are cultivating mycelium, you wait until it is fully-colonized. Then you place it into a "Fruiting Chamber". Then you say that it is "Fruiting". Next you pull the "Fruits". Why is this the way to express the process, even though a mushroom is not a fruit, or a vegetable. It is a fungus. Just curious. Conversation got brought up at home and it spiked my interest....

Guessing, but seems like it sounds better than a "funging chamber", that has fungii in it "funging". Lol.

True, mushrooms aren't fruit in the narrow sense of enlarged ovaries.

Just the same, the term 'fruit body' is often used to distinguish the mushroom -- essentially a sexual organ -- from the mycelium, which is more analogous to vegetation (although, clearly, it is not plant matter).

Since flora is the more familiar kingdom, I suppose it serves as the point of reference.

"Fruits" sounds better than "dicks" or "pussy sticks."

It may make me immature but I actually loled at calling mushrooms "pussy sticks." I agree "fruits" sounds better, though I'm now tempted to start using the term pussy sticks in some situations.

Who knew that the mushroom was the sexual organ of the mycelium. I did not.
edit. red wine is making this subject more entertaining than it should be. If everyone calls their pins "pussy sticks" I could be a legend. *Fame

Uhh it's fairly common sense that it's a reproductive structure given that the spores from the cap are the main way it typically reproduces in nature.

Mushrooms are technically the fruiting body of the fungus.  They really are like fruits as they are the results of sexual reproduction, i.e. the joining of haploid genetic material to create diploid offspring.

Mushroom is the common name for those fruiting bodies; the technical term is basidiocarp.

This year's batch of veterans are assholes. You all act like everything you know, you were born knowing. And I understood the general premise for why the mushroom is called a fruit, it's still interesting. Because generally you refer to "fruits" as the seed-bearing entities of a flowering plant, not a mycelium network of fungus. Just because some of you have spent years of your life on the shroomery doesn't mean everyone else is retarded. Maybe you should go get a girlfriend or play some minigolf or something to get yourself away from your incessant thread-checking on this site. I'm sorry I didn't understand that although the mushroom is not a "fruit" in the fruit and veggies sense, it is the "fruiting body of a mycelium network". God I'm just so stupid. Excuse me for spending some time to cultivate a family, be a father, work, and have friends. I should've realized at some point the necessity to read The Mushroom Cultivator and any other little bits of mushroom information you have all stored in your arrogant little minds. Peace
