English term or phrase: ground-up toad stools
...that's how she
tricked you.

This isn't ground-up toad stools, is it?

It's calamine lotion. She put
poison ivy oil on the candle. You
have a very bad allergic reaction.
Your doctor will give you a pill
for the fever and your tummy ache.

neutral  Nina_PT: Hi Nick, this is also correct. However, given the informal context, I think that 'cogumelos' is more adequate.
