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.

"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!"


Taste.... taste was definitely important, Bernie was thinking, especially as she looked over Avalon's list. "Ooh, I agree with Cece, I like that, yes." She nodded confidently. "Yours should taste like candy floss, Avalon," she added. It was just what the Ravenclaw's description made her hunger for when she read it a second time. Must've been the colours in Avalon's description that triggered her.

She smiled happily at Cece's offer to let her taste-test the shroom second. "Okay!" Deal. "You can try mine second you, both of you," BOTH of her partners could. They could set up a charcuterie board of everyone's mushrooms after they made them!!!!! IF they were really making them. Bernie was going to be sorely disappointed in Rainwater if this was all a hypothetical exercise.

Anyway, she added the other ideas from her partners to her list. "So if mine smells like fruits, should it TASTE like fruits too?" She tapped her chin.

Text Cut: MY TOADSTOOL 3.0
  • Big
  • Grows sideways on the side of trees?
  • Makes people LORGE when they eat it?
  • But that effect only lasts a short time
  • Smells fruity, like bananas and kiwis and mangos
  • Also, the toadstool can eat bugs, it attracts them with its scent, 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!
  • .......probably good on ideas now?


Bernie nodded some more to Cece's ideas; she really WAS a toadstool master at this point. Her eye landed on another girl's parchment near by them; she was in their year, er, around their year, wasn't she? She was like, the quietest kid ever, but that had never stopped Bernie from peeping her parchment.

Text Cut: Catherine :3
Crossbreed Toadstool
  • Perennial
  • Turns black and moves when it senses danger
  • Lets itself be harvested by trustworthy people
  • Its roots act like a counter-ingredient to flabberghasted leeches
  • Has emotions and each of them is reflected in the colour of the cap. Each colour/emotion has a different property in Potion making


"LOOK," Bernie tapppppppppped Catherine's parchment with her own quill, maybe flicking a bit of ink all over the place as she did. She couldn't help it, she was excited, and Gryffindors just....happened....when they got excited. "Cath's toadstool has FEELINGS." Oops, had she shouted that?

Awwwwwwwwwwww. No one was gonna wanna eat THAT one on their charcuterie board though! "What if it SCREAMS when you eat it?!" Bernie positively LOVED this idea, and beamed at the shy Ravenclaw. She was welcome to join their group, c'mon, duhhhhhhhhh.
