Deceptive

It looks quite pretty from a distance.
- and even from close up. Cute little mushrooms, one might say! But when you know that although they are growing on leaf mould, and that leaf mould is on top of termite mounds ...... then they cease to be pretty and are dug away together with the termite 'dagga' and disposed of. Little white mushrooms betraying little white ants - get rid of the lot. There are little black ants that have raided and annihilated the little white ants in the past, much to our delight. But then the question remains - what's to be done with the little black ants that have invaded and occupied the territory? Sounds like there's a story in there somewhere.
