They're fruit bodies, aren't they, rather than the entire 'plant'?

Yes. But they're subterranean, so could be considered roots... Unless
perhaps not being allowed to dig up roots would allow us to hunt for corms
and tubers also?

Are truffles 'plants'?

No. But is a fungus legally different?



The hedgehog fungus was added to Schedule 8 at the same time as the Native
Bluebell, so it seems in the eyes of the law fungi are 'plants'.
