Ann, does your board feature the original design from the forties?<br />
<br />
I'm going to cruise the Target game section like L. A. suggested. Chutes and Ladders doesn't seem right, but I'll check that out.<br />
But the designs have changed over the years, so I'm not sure that would be much help.<br />
<br />
I think emailing Hasbro is probably the best idea. I haven't even sold this book, so getting in touch with them seems premature ... and yet it's become such a mystery!

Hi, I have Candyland still as I had a child who loved it. No poisonous substances of any kind have ever been featured on the Candyland board. I'm not able to recall any children's games that had poisonous toadstools but I might be wrong. Chutes and Ladders didn't did it?

Batya, that's an excellent idea. Thanks! And thanks for the mushrooms/toadstool info. I thought they were two different things -- i didn't realize all toadstools were mushrooms. I also thought all toadstools were poisonous, but maybe I'm wrong about that too.

You can always email the corporate consumer relations people at Hasbro and ask them. If they don't know, someone there will---at least you'll get a definitive answer as to whether or not it was ever CandyLand.<br />
<br />
Mushrooms are usually divided into three categories: safe, poisonous, and fatal. The poisonous category includes many that are hallucinogenic, not really "poisonous." Mushrooms are really easy to misidentify. Toadstools themselves are a subdivision of mushrooms; all toadstools are…

At least that's how I remember it all. From the early '70s. When I did some research and we were all curious.<br />

Haven't played CandyLand with my kids for a few years, but last time I did, no, there was no Land of Poison Toadstools. If there's a big-box store like WalMart or Target or ToysRUs near you, it would be easy to find the game that does.

haha! you could be right. yeah, i wish i had a better image to post. looks like mushrooms or toadstools to me -- top center, just to the left of the candy land logo. but maybe i'm still seeing toadstools instead of gumdrop mountain. :D and maybe the board image isn't showing up. how did candy land become so sinister. pretty funny.

I still have not found any references to mushrooms. At the risk of playing arm chair psychiatrist, is it possible that your experience caused you to see the gum drop mountains as toadstools? Even if not, it could make a terrifying fictional twist.

ah-ha!<br />
<br />
the board has gone through 4 different designs, and the original 1940s board had shrooms. i found an image. i can see the toadstools, but i'm still not sure if it's called land of poison toadstools. don't know where i got that.<br />
