She was about to lead them further in toward the back of the greenhouse when she suddenly remembered something.
"Make sure you have your gloves and wand with you." Becasue of course if she didn't tell them everything they would likely forget. Children were amazing in that sense.

Leading the students down the central corridor of the greenhouse, she took them to a slightly darker, slightly damper and slightly cooller section of the greenhouse. But everything was still visible. Esecially the stunning and fragrent toadstools.

The scent of peppermint hung thick in the air here, and it had a very soothing effect.

Rallying the students around the beds of toadstools, she gave the little red and white striped caps a smile, though their black stems weren't as easy to see.

"These little toadstools are known as Peppermint Striped Parasol's, they are fairly rare and very valluable, can anyone tell me why?"

OOC: If you missed the first activity, unlucky... but do not fret, there will be another mini-activity coming up shortly. You know the rules. No chatting, no double posting. Depending on activity I may post the next bit tonight or some time tomorrow. Please note I am a person, and I have a job I sometimes need to get to in RL, so if I do post tomorrow it might not be first thing. Thanks! Have fun!
Everett grabbed his gloves and wand before following the teacher over to the other part of the greenhouse, where he was gretted with the scent of peppermint. Grinning at the pleasant smell, he stared at the toadstools they were being shown. Being honest, he wasn't really positive of the answer.

Might as well give it a guess. What was minty... "Because they are harvested often, used in lots of things such as potions, so now they are running out." Everett guessed, trying to make it not sound like a question.
