In spanish tomatoes are called "hortalizas", the others are "verduras" apart of "frutas", fruits, in english only traduced with vegetables and fruits. Maybe because Spain has a better food culture. Mushrooms are something in between plants and animals in a separate genre, some even are actively moving to find food. The US anyway differences only protein, sugar and decoration, tomatoes in bottles from Heinz.
