Mushrooms are not plants! Recently it has been discovered that they are more closely related to animals. What we see on the redwood forest floor is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruit (like an apple) of the mushroom “body” and contain mushroom “seeds” called spores. A mushroom spends most of its life below the ground.
