Toadstool

From the Online Etymology Dictionary: Late 14c., apparently just what it looks like: a fanciful name from Middle English tadde "toad" (see toad) + stole "stool" (see stool). Toads themselves were regarded as highly poisonous, and this word is popularly restricted to inedible or poisonous fungi, as opposed to mushrooms (e.g. toad-cheese, a poisonous fungi).

A less energetic day today with the only exertion being a gentle ramble in the woods with the dogs. Not aching much after yesterday, somewhat surprisingly, but feeling a bit tired. And today I managed to avoid the rain although it seems the recent wet stuff has washed the white spots off this fly agaric.
