This is also a thing with mushrooms.
The Common Earthball [1] f.x. is more related to a Porcino [2] than to a Meadow Puffball [3] which itself is related to the Field Mushroom [4].

- 2-718-281-828 5y agotoadstool is colloquial for poisonous mushroom.
- lproven 5y agoI know. But while all toadstools are mushrooms, not all mushrooms are toadstools...
