Toadstools or Mushrooms?
This is fun to research but after a little digging the basic finding seems to be that there isn't a difference. Both can be poisonous, both can have caps and stems or not. The only difference I could find after reading quite a few articles was that a toadstool's gills will not darken with age and a mushroom's will go from almost white to almost black. I don't eat any of these but Moe, Benni's new friend was chomping them up the other day. That looked very dangerous to me so I leashed up Benni so she wouldn't see what he was doing. Moe is a new rescue so Sandy didn't know about this habit. He was fine after his snack.
