Obviously not. But that's not a metaphor. That's just using the wrong word.

Oh, you consulted the author?

No, but like, a metaphor is when there's some second meaning. Why would you call a mushroom a fruit? Especially since none of this was in English anyway and so there's no way of knowing if any secondary meanings of the word would have also made any sense poetically.

You're a mushroom.
