I think it’s more that the mushroom parts are expendable, they die anyway after they’ve done their job. I don’t think fungi in general benefit much from animals eating them, not the way many plants do.


They want animals to ingest their spores.


It's my understanding that spore generating vegetables just spread their spores around by wind or other natural means. Unlike angiosperms that often spread their seeds with the help of animals.
