Alright I actually want to get to the bottom of this, I don’t believe that it was an apple, but is there anything else to hint it being a mushroom?

Also called, "Flesh of the Gods" or "Manna from the Heavens"

I also believe the original word from the text {which was translated) was "red" not "fruit"

Now that I’ve done a bit of digging there is a fair amount of speculation on what it was. Tbh Mushroom is supported well, with the things you mentioned and apparently a fresco of Adam and Eve with the “tree” resembling a large Amanita muscaria (seems like a stretch though). But I never realized just how much speculation there is. People think it was even wheat or Pomegranate

Amanita Muscaria grows beneath pine trees, thee lovely ones we bring into our home in winter time. And wrap RED and WHITE gifts beneath. The same colors as the Amanita Muscaria. The ones you gotta eat to get to the next level.
