A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. Toadstool generally denotes one poisonous to humans. Amanita muscaria, the most easily recognised “toadstool”, is frequently depicted in fairy stories and on greeting cards. It is often associated with gnomes. The terms “mushroom” and “toadstool” go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application.
