What is a mushroom?
a mushroom is defined as a "fleshy body of
any numerous edible fungi" unlike a toadstool.  A
toadstool is unedible.

That's the normal picture that comes to mind when someone says mushroom............... MUSHROOM!!

However, mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes, and there are many many species of mushrooms.  All mushrooms really are: they're fungi, and it's purpose in life is to disperse spores that go and grow into more mushrooms.
