Once upon a time, just out back behind the woodpile where the cedars mark the fenceline, grew a Magic Toadstool.
It was a toadstool, not a mushroom.
And before we go any further, let’s get this straight.
What’s the difference between a toadstool and a mushroom anyway?
The terms ‘mushroom’ and ‘toadstool’ are subjective rather than strictly scientific, and therefore are open to a range of loose interpretations. In general, fungi with fruit bodies that have a cap more or less centrally placed on top of a stem are referred to as ‘mushrooms’, or as ‘mushrooms and toadstools’. Some people broadly consider that all fungi with a cap and stem are ‘mushrooms’, while others consider only edible fungi as ‘mushrooms’. In the strictest sense, the word ‘mushroom’ refers only to members of the genus Agaricus, e.g. the cultivated white button mushroom. ‘Toadstool’ is typically applied to any fungus with a cap and stem that appears different from Agaricus, regardless of its edibility, or more usually if it is suspected or known to be poisonous. In a broader sense, ‘toadstools’ also includes other non-mushroom forms of fungi such as puffballs, earthstars, and coral fungi.
In short, mushrooms, well most of them, are usually nonpoisonous and edible and toadstools are poisonous and inedible.
So why in hell would fairies want to dance around a poisonous hunk of fungi ?
Which totally throws me right off topic and now I can’t remember the story.
Thank you Fergus Fungus for screwing up my entire “would be” fairy tale.
