“So now that you’re all aware of what a toadstool is—being a fungus or a mushroom which is defined firstly by its umbrella shaped cap and thick stem, it is usually considered to be poisonous and thus inedible, but there are a few exceptions to the rule. This is not to say there aren’t other dangers or cautions to be aware of.” She let them process this before moving on. “Though there are magical and mundane versions of toadstools, the magical variety have the inexplicable ability to lure in magical beasts, particularly pixies, fairies and doxy’s.”

“They are primarily used in potions- despite their general inedibility and poisonousness. And are frequently used in healing potions. Some varieties have also been known to be used as core ingredients in wizarding confectionary.” Hence why some are indeed edible.

Standing to the side so that some of the students could have a better view of the toadstools before them, Seren turned her head and gave them a fond look. Precious little toadstools they were. With such an amazing reddish brown cap, and white stem... stunning.

Right next question... to keep these students were on their toes.

“Who can identify this type of toadstool for me?”

OOC: I'm off to bed... tis late. Though I am not in the classroom Bentley is. So NO chatting etc.... I'll reply when I wake up, approx 8-9 hours from the time of this post. Thanks!

As the answer appeared on the blackboard, Kynthia took notes as quickly as she could. She had yet to get accustomed to writing with a quill, so that took a while. As she was writing she looked at the toadstools before her and tried to identify them. Hmmm reddish brown with a white stem... Did my brother's book have those? Well even if it had, time had passed since she last read that book and keeping information in her head for that long was never somehting she could do. I think I'm not going to give an answer this time. I'll just hear what others have to say and keep notes. She tought giving up trying to remember. She looked around the classroom trying to spot any familiar faces but found none. I really need to socialize more! She thought.
