I am wondering whether, in addition to the "References" and "Literature Cited" sections, this could do with a "Further reading" section. The book "The Octopus Book of Mushrooms" could go here - it is quite a good guide to common mushrooms, and depicts which mushrooms are poisonous, which are inedible and which are edible.

I am sorry to report that Google were placing your photo of fly agaric above search results for pizza recipes, under the heading of "pizza toppings", until I pointed out their error. Please consider editing the content of this article to prevent similar, potentially fatal, mistakes. Images can easily be circulated out of context and not everyone in search of a good photo will read the accompanying text. Bergamo Moth (talk) 15:38, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Fliegenpilz" is not a German name for the toadstool, as the etymology section suggests, but the German name for fly agaric specifically. It's a small edit, but since the article is semi-protected I can't change it, maybe someone else could? Alabandic (talk) 21:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the use of the word, to denote rapid growth, e.g., "to mushroom," arises from the phenomenon of a, "mushroom cloud." If so, it wouldn't have applicability to the biological species, regardless of how bounteously they propogate.71.171.17.159 (talk) 07:12, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
