Toadstools

[Prudie]

Is there any evidence that toads actually sit on them?

No..... http://dictionary.ref....com/browse/toadstool

I always thought they used them as umbrellas :-)

Judging by the size of the toads in our garden, they would squash them flat.

Thanks. Spoils the fairytale image but makes sense.

It says on my link that toads are poisonous and so are toadstools... not sure where the stool bit comes from.

This toad obviously couldnt find a toadstool

Maybe because millions of years ago toads used to be the size of a dog so used to leave what looked similar to toadstools; toad's stools.

I am only stating what everyone else is thinking, you grubby lot!

Love it Ratter... just how I feel today too
