I wonder if there exists people who aggressively believe mushrooms are plants, similar to people who defend Pluto as a planet. - eviltoast

It was only in 1969 (nice) that fungi officially became its own separate kingdom.

    Planet used to mean wandering star, referring to ‘stars’ that didn’t stay in one place but moved around with the days, months, years, or centuries. Obviously not a useful definition these days, I consider a planet a rocky body big enough that it’s gravity makes it almost perfectly round.
