Edit request from Sublimehypocrisy  December      The fruit page mentions plants only However there is another example of a fruit   When a fungus grows to the point that it can produce spores the portion of the fungus that contains the spores or fungus seeds is considered the fruiting body of the fungus  Currently the fruit page only gives information about plants being fruits but even the fungus Wikipedia article states that the mushroom is the fruiting body of a fungus I hope someone can confirm the validity of my claim  Source httpwwwbritannicacomEBcheckedtopicsporophore
