Yet, it is debatable if a mushroom is strictly a ‘plant’; hence the recent amendment to the German law in 2005 adopting the term ‘organic’ substances, rather than the previously used ‘plants and animals’ in order to close any possible loophole for mushrooms.
Ach, is cúis díospóireachta í an ‘planda’ i ndáiríre é an beacán; féach an leasú nua i ndlí na Gearmáine in 2005 leanar glacadh leis an téarma substaintí ‘orgánacha’, in ionad an fhrása a bhí in úsáid roimh ré ‘plandaí agus ainmhithe’ chun aon lúb ar lár maidir le beacáin a sheachaint.
