It went to network news, linked to there, because a case involved it that went to the Supreme Court. So, it does have significant use. But as said, everything from plants useful and had for food is a vegetable, the way it originally was meant. Mushrooms are already fully excluded from that, I am one of the few that say I really eat my food all from only plants. Fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds, became recognized as separate categories, for food, they still did not correspond to botanical categories. The plant parts that are botanically fruits or grains are in some cases recognized still as vegetables, so, vegetables is left meaning edible plant parts useful and had for food, but not all of them. They are if they are roots for this, tubers for this, stalks for this, leaves for this, or flowers for this, fruits sometimes for this (but not if sweet!), and grains sometimes for this, and never nuts for this, and never seeds for this. So vegetables is really arbitrary as a category, and there is no basis still in this for mushrooms being included with them. Plants are not opisthokonts, mushrooms and the fungi they are parts from are, and we humans and all animals are opisthokonts with them. Plant-based milks from nuts or grains are still food from plants, and hummus and salsa I get are food from plants as well, so all my food is still really just from plants, and it really is enough for me, I like all the food I am making. I wouldn't want something that I can't distinguish from anything really from any used animal.
