At first glance, it's a toadstool—poisonous, and the most poisonous are the dots on the cap. This is how people most often react to the sight of a toadstool.

Of course, such opinions are fueled by profound ignorance, even backwardness. The dots on the cap are remnants of the egg and sheath from which the toadstool grows. Sometimes you can see a toadstool without the dots because the rain simply washed them away.

Another myth—all toadstools are inedible and poisonous! Not true. There are many edible species of toadstool, and this one is a prime example. The reddish-colored toadstool is edible after cooking. Eating it raw is not recommended, but this applies to all mushrooms.

The woody thrush is another species that most people believe is poisonous and inedible. But that's not true.

The woody thrush is not poisonous and is edible. Its only problem is that it tastes unpalatable.

It's also very delicate and small, and to achieve any culinary effect, you'd have to work hard to collect enough of it.

But at least it's fun to photograph because it doesn't run away.
