Fly agaric mushroom implication

Should personifications like post #566780 be tagged with mushroom?

Yes, it should. It seems silly to me that users are only allowed to find personifications of specific things, but not personifications of general things.

This reasoning has been used with beetles, weapons, and several other proposed implications, despite the fact that there are plenty of examples of specific tags that do implicate the general tag (see bird, tank, bug, gun, ect.) and don't seem to be causing any issues.

I gotta agree on this, that reasoning has never really made any sense to me, for animals at least. It becomes a mess to find personifications if we compartmentalize species like this. For objects it's a bit more complex.

What do you mean by that? I can't think of a way that it would be more complex for objects, outside of named weapons being drawn as alternate weapons. Plus it's not like we don't already have a bunch of objects that have these types of implications (weapon, tank, food, ect.).
