If you're serious, I think you're mistaken who's making the statement. I've had conversations with humanity majors who made comments about mushrooms being plants despite the obvious fact that they don't photosynthesize. Never mind that they breath oxygen in and release co2.

Mushrooms were considered plants until the 70s, maybe they just had outdated textbooks in school.

Some plants don't photosynthesize either (e.g. Orobanchaceae). Its not the photosynthesis that makes the plant

Then why is the mushroom (that we see) called the fruiting body?

Mushrooms are obviously fruit.
