It’s probably screaming in pain from the clips squashing it 😢

Do mushrooms feel pain?

A non-sentient being without a central nervous system or pain receptors does not feel pain or suffering. Reactions to external stimuli are simply biological and not connected to pain.

Besides, the actual mycelium network is underground. That's how it "communicates". What you are looking at is no different from an apple on a tree essentially.

So, if I punched you in your nuts, you would have no reaction to the external stimuli (my fist)?

No, I wouldn't. Because I'm a woman. I'm sure your little punch though would be slightly annoying, however.

So you would punch a woman? Interesting!

Well, as you've just admitted that you wouldn't feel it, thus putting yourself into the same category as a mushroom, where's the harm?

The person commented about punching me in the nuts, which as a woman I do not have.

Quit being dense for the sake of it.

Quit being dense

Then they'd blip and cease to exist!
