Scientifically speaking, there's no difference between mushroom and toadstool. However, the non-scientific reference to toadstool is fungi that is toxic, poisonous, or simply inedible, while the word mushroom is used to describe tasty and edible mushrooms. So what is the difference?
Mushrooms with white gills are often poisonous. So are those with a ring around the stem and those with a volva. Because the volva is often underground, it's important to dig around the base of a mushroom to look for it. Mushrooms with a red color on the cap or stem are also either poisonous or strongly hallucinogenic.
