It's an alternate spelling of "toadstool," which is a poisonous mushroom favored by military-backed dictators for purposes of assassinations and jailbreaks. In some places it grows near water and is gathered by local security officials.

Argentina is far bigger than Chile and has much more opportunities, especially in a city like Buenos Aires.
