'Kinds' and 'types' are nonetheless still interchangeable in these examples.
Some other examples from a valid referee:
This is some type of mushroom.
This is some kind of mushroom.
There are different types of books
There are different kinds of books
Budha you are going to take your second attempt, Philosophy is one of your optional subjects and so far you don't know the difference between type and kind. Kya baat hai!
