Mushrooms are fascinating! I never thought about the fact that they aren't classified as vegetables because they don't use the sun to make food. Are you familiar with any guides to local edible mushrooms? I'd love to go hunting in my area, although the Amanita verna seem to be what I most commonly see (a shame since it's poisonous).
I like only those that come packaged, because it is dangerous to grab any type of mushroom. Thanks @sunravelme, for your comments.
