The species bearing lamellae are grouped by mycologists in a family, the Agaricaceae, and therefore the use of the term mushroom for these fungi gives it a popular meaning roughly equiva- lent to the family Agaricaceae. 'Toadstool' is another popular term that is frequently used and it too means different things to different people. To some it means any fungus except the field mushroom or cultivated mushroom, to others it is any inedible or poisonous fungus. Scientifically the term has no meaning at all since species related closely in a botanical sense may be either edible or poisonous. We can avoid confusion by dropping the term 'toadstool' altogether and speaking only of edible and poisonous mushrooms. The structure that we call a mushroom is in reality only the fruiting body of the fungus. The vegetative part of the plant consists of a system of branching threads and cord-like strands that ramify through the soil, manure, or other material on which the fungus may be growing. This vegetative part is called Pileus Lamellae Partial Ve becom Stipe Volva
