I like vegetation, as well. Phototrophs could almost work but as mentioned before, there are actual plants that no longer do that. But what MY real question is... how do we classify fungus? Should they remain separate from typical plant-types when possible, as fungus on Earth aren't related to plants (and in fact more closely related to animals) ..?

And considering that so many writers base their organisms off of how evolution on Earth worked and go so far as to even use the terms "animal", "mammal", et cetera, fungoid organisms on ASW are likely almost entirely intended to be fungus or fungus-equivalents as opposed to plant or plant-equivalents.
