They are also toxic. I'm suspicious of plants that want to kill me.

Like the humble pizza topping pineapple.

Pineapple contains a potent enzyme called bromelain that breaks down proteins, causing a tingling or burning sensation in your mouth because it is essentially "eating you back" at a microscopic level.

Of course fungi are plants. They don't move and grow in the forest.
