SPOILER!!: The Professor :3 Quote:

Allowing the students to mull this information over for a minute, Seren glanced behind her at their special guests... they would get to that soon.
“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! What was a toadstool? They were a sort of mushroom, which made them a fungus and therefore gross. And evil probably. But that wasn't a very intellectual answer so Vashti had kept her mouth shut. She doubted Professor Bentley would appreciate her calling the plants evil and gross, even if they actually were.
Instead she quietly pulled out her Herbology notebook and quickly jotted down the stuff written on the board. As she did, she briefly glanced up when the professor asked whether anyone could identify those toadstools over there, and Vashti paused in her writing as she heard some of the answers the other students were giving.
Biting toadstools? BITING toadstools?!
Oh dear Merlin, please no.
But some others were suggestion leaping toadstools. Those sounded much better than mushrooms that were capable of biting her fingers off.
Vashti hastily scribbled down the rest of the notes before raising her hand. "Those are leaping toadstools, right?" Please say yes?
