minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoAre carnivores plants vegan? Genuinely curious, never looked into it.
minus-squareformergijoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoI have heard there are vegans who won’t eat figs since there’s a decent chance of a dead wasp in a fig due to how fig wasps procreate.
minus-squaretofu@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoFigs you buy in stores don’t have dead wasps in them. But yes, there varieties of figs that do and there aren’t vegan.

minus-squarecuriosityLynx@kglitch.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoIf no, what about coprophagic mushrooms (I’m not aware of any fungi that are both edible and coprophagic and also produce fruiting bodies aka mushrooms big enough to possibly harvest)?
minus-squarescutiger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoDepends what you consider edible. Some varieties of psilocybe grow directly on poop.
minus-squarecuriosityLynx@kglitch.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoHm, I might have chosen the wrong adjective there. I meant fungi that decompose corpses
