They are not vegetables BUT most people do consider them the be vegetables.
If you order a vegetarian pizza, you will get mushrooms on it.
If you order broiled vegetables, you will get mushrooms.
If you order vegetable soup, there can be mushrooms in it.
If you order a vegetable platter with dip, there will be mushrooms on it as well.
So you see, it is CONSIDERED a veggie even though it is not.

Mushrooms are a fungi and considered more often for their protein. They often serve as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes. Often times they are grouped as a vegetable simply because they grow out in the world and do not come from an animal.
When I have my vegetarian stints, I often use Portabella mushrooms as my protein substitute as I can't really get a taste for tofu. It has a steak like quality with mushroom appeal...if that makes any sense. There is a link below with a good answer to your question as well.

I can't tell you but I wish they wouldn't! Is it anal of me to cringe whenever I hear this sort of thing or can I be forgiven because I'm a biologist? I don't really mind to be honest but it's fun to be pedantic about certain things! lol PS: You know the way people call tomatos a vegetable? Well they're such a good example of a fruit that they're generally used in textbooks to illustrate the typical fruit! Also, cucumbers and peppers are fruits but most people see them as vegetables too. In these cases I think maybe it's a taste thing but for mushrooms I don't know.

While a mushroom scientifically is a fungus, it is considered a vegetable.

veggies are edible seeds or roots or stems or leaves or bulbs or tubers or nonsweet fruits of any of any herbaceous plant. I don't think mushroom falls in there, do you?

No, they are not- mushrooms are not vegetables
They contain absolutely no vitamins or minerals either, though they do have a high content of antioxidants
