"Your Majesty, this very morning, Sabre died of eating a poisonous toadstool! Bring him back to life, Your Majesty, with your wand!"
Captain of the Brigade of Witch-Hunters.[src]

A poisonous toadstool was a fungus not fit for consumption, as it was a deadly poison.[1][2]

History[]

In popular wizarding tale Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump by Beedle the Bard, Sabre, the largest of the hounds of the Brigade of Witch-Hunters, died of eating this fungus.[1]

In September 1995, Ronald Weasley commented that "“Poisonous toadstools don't change their spots", when voicing his distrust of Severus Snape, whom he believed was still a loyal Death Eater.[2]
