Bernie needed to steal a few of those ideas, ahem.

"I LOVE your toadstool. I would LOVE to taste-test it for you." If they actually got to make these toadstools a reality, of course. Bernie tapped the first idea on Cece's list, too. "What if the toadstool ALSO made the people who ate it good singers? Since it can sing?" JUST A THOUGHT!

She hurried up to add the other GLOWING idea she was borrowing from Cece to her own list.

Text Cut: MY TOADSTOOL 2.0
  • Big
  • Grows sideways on the side of trees?
  • Makes people LORGE when they eat it?
  • But that effect only lasts a short time
  • Also, the toadstool can eat bugs, so it's handy
  • Also, it changes color at night and glows
  • It's basically a forest torch
  • I'm thinking its colours are like pink and purple and blue and green, like that biolumie plankton that does this?
  • IF YOU EAT IT, then YOU GLOW TOO!
  • .......need more ideas


"What do you think my toadstool would smell like, Cece?" She LOVED the idea of her friend's smelling like chocolate, but maybe Bernie's smelled different, since it ate bugs and all???

Avalon's eyes widened as the professor leapt up to stand on his workstation. She couldn't help but smile when he yelled about daring to dream and having no limits. Had Professor Rainwater ever been into theater? He certainly would make a good performer. He was quite charismatic and dramatic. And a generally likable guy. She could see him being on stage in one of those big theaters in New York.

Turning to the people next to her, Avalon decided to crash the lion party and join Bernie and Cecelia. Leave it up to the Gryffindors to have the craziest ideas for a crossbred mushroom. If there really were no limits, this had to be the coolest, trendiest, and most useful toadstool ever. Avalon wanted to give it at least one quality for each of the five senses. And then a couple more magical properties, too. "Ooohhh, I love the idea of a glow-in-the-dark mushroom! That would be really cool." She passed over her own parchment with her ideas.


Her list covered the five senses thing, but she wanted to add some more unique properties to her toadstool as well. "The toadstool should definitely taste good and not be poisonous. I'm tired of those gross mushrooms that my mum always serves with dinner." Who really wanted to eat a soggy, gross fungus that tasted like dirt? Now a candy-flavored mushroom was something Avalon could get behind. "And what if we made it have some special power? If it can really be anything, we might as well make it useful!" Perhaps it should have healing properties? Or she could definitely get behind Bernie's idea of having it eat bugs.


"I'd let you be the second to taste-test it, since I'd want to be the first!" But it was real reassuring knowing her toadstool seemed appetizing. That meant she was on to something, surely. "Hey, yeah! Maybe that can be a whole THING. Like the person who eats some of my toadstool takes on ALL of its traits!" She liked where Bernie's head was at, she did.

SPOILER!!: Toadstool Ideas with updates!
-Can sing!
*-Can make make You sing if you eat some of it!
-Can glow in the dark!
-Smells like chocolate!
-Can make YOU glow if you eat some of it!


"I super like that yours eats bugs 'cause it's no fun walking through the forest with a bunch of bugs flying around your head," She commented when she was done updating her list, offering a smile to the Bernster. As for what hers should smell like, Cecelia tapped her chin. "Well, bugs like sugary stuff, right? Fruit can be sugary. Maybe your toadstool can smell fruity and trick the bugs into coming over to it!" She was kiiiiiind of a toadstool idea master at this point.

"Oh, hey, Avalon has the sweet smelling idea, too." The third year offered Avalon a smile, taking a longer look at her list. "I haven't thought about what colors mine should be yet, but I'm open to ideas." Since she noticed the other two already had theirs picked out. "Well, I think eating bugs is useful and Bernie's can do that. Mine could be considered useful IF you had to enter some kind of talent contest or something 'cause it can help you sing AND glow, which is a double talent." And who wouldn't be impressed by a glowing singer? "Maybe yours can help someone's appearance? Like making their hair shiny and smooth since that's what the appearance of the toadstool is!"
