Mushrooms are plants in the culinary sense. Like strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are berries in the culinary sense.

Yup. Inside culinary classifications, fungi don't exist. Outside of culinary classifications, vegetables don't exist.

Culinary definition doesn't differentiate plants, but mushrooms are vegetables.
