I can't even be pissed about the mushrooms/fungi thing, since I put tomatoes.

Screw it, yes I can, MUSHROOMS ARE NOT A VEGETABLE BITCHES!

Congrats Seig, and thanks Dustin.

i'm intregued by this fungus thing. I know the whole, banana's a herb, tomato's a fruit etc etc crap, and i also vaguely recall that fungi are wierd-ass lifeforms with sixtuple chromasomes and some such, but surely saying a mushroom is a fungus is like saying an apple is a tree? Is a mushroom not the seed carrying bit of a fungus and hence probably a fruit?

Yeah, fungi aren't even plants. In fact, according to Wikipedia:

"Fungi are now thought to be more closely related to animals than to plants, and are placed with animals in the monophyletic group of opisthokonts."

the monophyletic group of opisthokonts, why didn't think of that?
