I dont get what you are trying to do but what i think might help is use OnTriggerEnter(Collision collision) and inside it check for OnMouseDown() and put all the code in. What this will do is check the trigger when the mouse is down !!

so does that mean that my collider has to be touching the object fruit two? im trying to mouse click on an instantiated prefab and check if the tag matches one of the inventory icons already. If it does match then instead of adding the icon to the panel it will increase the number on the icon that is already there. It works fine if I run into the object with my collider touches the fruits collider. But i want to convert my Collision checking to happen with the mouse click instead of me actually walking into the object.

Your mouse doesn't have a collider so it can't collide. I'm not sure what you want to do but maybe RaycastHit.Collider will work for you.

Here is the code now. Hello never prints.

void OnMouseDown() {

  Debug.Log ("hello");
  
   GameObject i;
   if(gameObject.tag == "fruit_one")
   { 
       i = Instantiate(inventoryIcons[0]);
       i.transform.SetParent(inventoryPanel.transform);
   }
  else if(gameObject.tag == "fruit_two")
   {
       i = Instantiate(inventoryIcons[1]);
       i.transform.SetParent(inventoryPanel.transform);
   }  
   else if(gameObject.tag == "fruit_three")
   {
       i = Instantiate(inventoryIcons[2]);
       i.transform.SetParent(inventoryPanel.transform);
   }

} }
