I thought about this and looked for a definition. It’s all about animal products, presumably making this fungus vegan?

There is an ISO definition of vegan (23662:2021) but it seems to cost $88 and then I emerged from the rabbit hole.

Here’s the iso as pdf (it only apply to food): https://cdn.standards.iteh.ai/samples/76574/4b2534a5a3934ca1...

Most vegan adhere to a more practical and pragmatic definition, like this one, from the association founded by the veganism-word initiators:

Thanks.

And wow yes. ‘I’m a ISO standard vegan’ isn’t something I’ve heard and it has probably never happened.
