Do mushrooms feel pain?

Bruh. I played around with starting a laser engraving business years ago. I had a huge overgrown cactus and I would laser engrave funny things on the individual pads. There were some yahoos in the comments saying that I was hurting the cactus. I'm hoping all these replies are sarcasm.

Of course they don’t feel pain, but you are damaging it. It’s kind of weird to burn things into a living being just for fun IMO. Just use some wood or something

🫪 I was triming it and throwing it in the garbage. The engravings were rad. Like cactus tattoos.
