Why is it that so many different food groups (meat, poultry, fish, drinks, mushrooms) are all together when it comes to which Beracha Rishona is recited over them?
Boray Pri Ha'Adamah is straight forward, so is Boray Pri Ha'Etz. Mezonos is said on foods that have now become food which is Zan.
But SheHakol that's the default one for food that we don't know which Beracha to say.
Is that fitting to use that one for meat that it is written about it, Ein Simcha ella B'Basser? We should make a special Beracha over it just like wine.
And I was thinking,
that it seems a difference between Ha'Adamah- Ha'Etz and SheHakol is that the former is said over food, even if it was cooked, that is recognizable as being edible even in its original natural state. While SheHakol is for foods that are able to be eaten only after human involvement. And to bavorn Kochi V'Otzem Yodi we make a special Beracha SheHakol N'hiya Bidvaro- Hashem created it.

Beautiful interpretation.
My only qeustion is what about water? would you say that the human intervention is capturing in a vessel?
And mushrooms.
Really we have to understand the difference between Shehakol and Boray Pri because the Berachah Boray Pri is pretty direct and clear.
Perhaps we can say that the Beracha Boray Pri fits plants because the word Boray is used for Beriah Yesh Me'Ayin and Ko'ach Ha'Tzmicha is a me'ain of that. Shehakol uses the word Ne'hiyoh. But that isn't great either because meat is from birth which is Ko'ach Ha'Layda...
