not exactly, we say fruiting bodies to be easier to describe, but you can’t botanically be a fruit without being a plant. plus spores aren’t seeds. fungi are more closely related to us than fruit!
i wonder if any distinction was made that long ago too though, or if mushrooms would’ve been included in the original context 🤔
Would this not also apply to mushrooms?
Not a plant, and the penis-looking part above ground is called a fruiting body so therefore it does bear fruit

Who called it that? Also are spores the same as seeds?
