That was it? Breathing out a harsh breathe through her nose, Evelyn narrowed her eyes somewhat before looking around to see who else was joining them. Yup, she was still mad. Quote:
What? Glancing towards the toadstools that was behind the Professor, Evelyn's eyes lost their narrowed look and instead was quite neutral. Huh. She hadn't noticed those before. Then again, the first person she saw after Bentley was Marilyn and then all thoughts disappeared except the ones covered in red. Meep. Hmm, time to raise her hand she supposed. "A toadstool is a general term for a variety of mushroom types, some being less harmful while others you'll have to be rather...careful around. At least the dangerous and poisonous ones you do." And what were those behind her, hmmm? Evelyn didn't get the chance to look! |
Kurumi smiled as Professor Bentley began the lesson, but her eyes never left the toadstools behind the woman...and she hoped that Walnut was hiding somewhere in the Gryffindor common room and not anywhere here in the green houses. After the question was posed, Kurumi's hand shot up. "A toadstool, as has already been mentioned, is a mushroom. However, usually when one refers to a mushroom as a toadstool, they are talking about the shape and referring to a mushroom that is not suitable for eating or is poisonous." She paused for a moment to collect her thoughts a bit more. "I believe I have also read that some people think the name comes from poisonous frogs that excrete poison from their skin...or that toads really liked sitting on this particular type of mushroom." Hence the stool...being used by a toad... |
Toadstools! As in those venomous, HORRIBLE plants! Joćo eyed them suspiciously. Yep, good thing he had chosen a seat far, faaar away from them. Raising his hand, he said "They are venomous fungus. They should not be eaten." See, under stress, he even rhymed. |
Ashley looked up as the lesson started, thinking about the question and peering at the weird looking plants to try and find an answer to them. He had already decided to try his best to answer questions, though, even if he wasn't sure, so up went his hand. "It's a weird looking mushroom plant? That... toads sit on?" No idea, but hey, toad+stool, right? "Oh, and I'm Ashley. Moon." He was pretty sure she didn't know him, so he added that part in, since she had said to. |
SPOILER!!: Kurumi Quote:
"A toadstool is a fungus and or type of mushroom," he answered not giving his name for surely she knew it from last term. "It can he harmful to touch and poisononous." |

"Toadstool is a kind of poisonus mushroom. My mom had ever told me that." |

Aurora raised her hand, "Professor, a Toad Stool is a family of fungus, specifically a type of mushroom. They usually grow in patches though some are known to grow alone. When fungus grows in patches it is still one plant as they are connected under the ground." Yep, that was why people should read during the holidays. "Toad Stools specifically usually have a large cap and a thick stalk. They can also be very poisonous. The blood toad stool looks like a common open cap mushroom but is incredibly poisonous and you can only tell by breaking it as the flesh on the inside is bright red." Andd... breathe. That one there looked nasty... she kept her eye on it and was about to ask if it was what she thought it was but figured she'd said enough... didn't want to look like a know-it-all... |

... why did she have a bad feeling about this? Anyway. The professor asked a fairly simple question, so she raised her hand. "A toadstool is a type of mushroom, which can also be poisonous." Riiiight? And that was the reason Nora had a bad feeling about this lesson. But all the negative thoughts had to be banished away. Somewhere far, far away. "Oh, and my name is Nora Reed." There. Now professor Bentley knew who she was as well. |

Toadstools aye? What was with the professors here asking the students for the answers? It was like they didn't know anything much and waited to hear the best answer and then would pick that one to roll with and act as if they knew all along. Corey was on to you, professors. He did put a hand up though. "Toadstools are..." He heard an older Slytherin yell out and then interupted himself with a fist pump. "YEAH, PEACH Toadstool! She was in Forbes magazine you know." Kind of hot for a fictional animated character. And it wasn't about the looks, it was about the POWER. Princess Peach Toadstool was POWERFUL. Wait... he'd lost his train of thought. Oh there it was. "Toadstools are fungi, not always poisonous like some people reckon." He side eyed a few examples of 'some people' "If you go in a muggle back yard, sometimes you'll find one made out of stone and painted, with a gnome that looks more like a Redcap on it, fishing." Those crazy muggles. His mum had a whole bunch. |
Jesifur had been sitting in the back of the class head in her book and only noticed class had begun when the teacher asked the question "what is a toadstool?". Having just read this she was ready with the answer. Jesifur raised her hand high into the air and answered, "There are over thirty varieties of toadstools. They resemble mushrooms. Though toadstools are poisonous they are often useful in potions and other magical endeavors. Especially in healing. Oh, oops, sorry professor, My name is Jesifur Hitchens, first year Hufflepuff." she said turning pink. |
Thank you, Pottermore. Quote:
"A toadstool is somekind of mushroom that has magical properties. Like the Leaping Toadstool!" |
SPOILER!!: Adam "It's okay," he told Adam. "I've been kind of a jerk too. I shouldn't be angry at you." He'd decided that he had forgiven him even if Kurumi hadn't. "I think class is starting," he said, looking at Bentley, who seemed to want to start now, so he sat up straight ready to provide some answers for Ravenclaw. SPOILER!!: proffie :3 A toadstool? Well, a toadstool was just a toadstool. Or... A mushroom? Hugo raised his hand. "I think a toadstool is a mushroom, but I think the term is mostly used for dangerous or poisonous mushrooms." Right? |

Penny put her hand in the air.."Professor, Toadstools are poisonous mushrooms and should never be eaten because of the danger - although they can be very useful in healing potions".... Penny was trying to remember what she had read last night as she went through her new textbook.. |

When the first question popped out, Beatrice immediately thought for a good answer, Toadstools ? Professor Bentley asks what they are. She knew of course and willingly raised her hand while waiting for her turn. After some the students have answered and a silence fell over, she stood up and gave hers. "Well, a toadstool is a kind of mushroom both here in the Magical World and also in the Muggle World. It is unlike plants that can produce their own food. Since it is a mushroom then it doesn't undergo food processing or otherwise known to Muggles as Photosynthesis. Toadstools in the Magical Realm have magic of course and has different characteristics. Others can presumably look like stools and there are others who have the ability to jump." After giving out her answer, she settle herself to her seat once again. Hoping that she had a good answer and that it didn't go overboard. |

"My name is Kynthia Near and I'm a first year. Toadstools are mushrooms. As indicated by their red colour and white dots, they are poisonous. Toadstools are a quite common species of mushroom and can be found nearly everywhere in the world, in forests or meadows." |
Quote:
remembering that she need to present herself... "I'm Violet Snape and a first year student in Slytherin house.." |
I) Hospital Wing II) Dungeon Five III) Six feet under And those were sorted from the less severe to fatal. Alright. Now back to the lesson. She puts a hand up before answering. "Some kind of fungus? Mostly inedible, I guess. They're like poisonous mushrooms, aren't they?" |
Spike sat up a bit as the lesson started and raised his hand. He knew a bit about toadstools, since there were a few to be found in the woods he and a few friends played in over the summer. Always good to know which ones might kill you, and which ones might be nice as a little snackette. "As others have said, toadstools are a type of fungi and don't actually have to be poisonous. They are usually characterised by the stalk and cap shape. What's funky about them is underground they help decay dead and rotten plants, and return those nutrients to the soil to help new plants grow." |

Okay, ...seriously? Did Kurumi Hollingberry always have to answer that way? She always had to give these detailed answers that made everyone else seem like they were mere bumps on logs. No, Sierra was not jealous. Sierra had gotten too lost in her thoughts and nearly missed her chance to answer. Her hand quickly went up. "Toadstools are poisonous mushrooms," she simply declared. She shot Kurumi Hollingberry an unamused glance as her hand lowered. |
Luna raised her hand ''Toadstools are similer to mushrooms but poisonous... They are also fungi'' Why were the doing muggle plants??? It could be a step to talking about leaping mushrooms which were pretty much the same they just jumped and stuff like that |
Danae Zoto was a bit nervous for this class because some of the plants kinda freaked her out. But she needed to do well in it so she could know more about what plants could save a person's life when she was a Healer. DEEEEEP breathes. Having sat down in a spot where there was less chatter, she looked around at the other students and then up as the teacher came in. 'What are toadstools.' it seemed like an easy enough question. Danae raised her hand, and stated, "Hello Professor. I'm Danae." she left off the last name as per usual because almost everyone who knew Quidditch knew her brother for their shared last name. "I would define a toadstool as a poisonous mushroom having a stalk with an umbrellalike cap." |

Very seldom did Ellie like being referred to by her last name. Yet somehow, with the 'Captain' in front of it, it sounded so nice. Heh. She still had to pay the Herbology Professor a personal visit. Soon. Quote:
And a toadstool? "It's a plant." People just loved overlooking the simplicity of questions, didn't they? Sigh. |
