The term "mushroom" is commonly used to refer to edible fungi, while "toadstool" typically refers to poisonous or inedible fungi. However, biologically there is no clear distinction between the two terms, and they are often used interchangeably. It's best to rely on scientific names to accurately classify fungi.
