What do we think when we see the word ‘Fungus’ – what does it conjure up ?
When we’re very young, perhaps we were told that Fairies live under Toadstools. Later, in stories they are always portrayed as being poisonous – and this one, often found under Birch Trees, the Fly Agaric actually is.
Whatever we were told when we were introduced to them, I’m sure that most people think of them as upright stalks with a round top – like the one in the picture.
