The spotted toadstool is a relatively rare giant fungus that usually grows from one to two feet high. The wide cap is edible, albeit extremely foul-tasting, but the core of black spores clustered around the top of the stem contains the toxin from which the poison is derived, and can also be dangerous if inhaled, although they are not always in a state of release. There is a method for concentrating the toxin into a useable form, but it is not widely known, and mostly practiced by jungle dwellers.
