A mushroom is not a mush, nor is it a room. It is a fungus.
A toadstool is not a toad, and it is not a stool. It is a fungus.
And as Matt Groening informed us in his wonderful book School Is Hell (he knew: he went to the same school that I did), a fish stick is not a fish, nor is it a stick. It is a fungus.
Now, in the spirit of the quizzes that once appeared on the Brunching Shuttlecocks, we here present a list of twenty things that may or may not be fungi. Can you sort them out?
Evil Mad Scientist Quiz: Is it a fungus?
My favorite not-a-fungus is the Snow Plant, a relative of the indian pipe.

Hi, Mads!
I´got a hard question for all: Where is a searching and eating of all kinds of mushrooms the national sport? Here! In the heart of Europe, Czech republic. Look at mushroom-fan pages: http://www.nahouby.cz/diskuse.php?strana=987&krok=10
After 5 years it’s clearly not worth fixing the form, but could you post the answers in the comments? Just out of bizarre interest.
The quiz should be working now.
