Alright, take the ginger root and grate it directly over the cauldron. Then let simmer for about 5 minutes." She demonstrated, and then summoned reishi the mushroom showing it to the class.
"
This red, heart shaped mushroom is called a reishi mushroom. It is nicknamed the mushroom of immortality because of its healing properties. Some muggles think it cures cancer, diabetes, liver problems... It depends on how it's used. Thinly slice all the mushrooms and add them to the cauldron. Take your wand and wave it over the cauldron with a fast strinking oblique motion and cast the spell." She said and once she was finished diffindoing them and adding them she performed the wand movement and cast "
Sanum!"

She showed a potion that induced an allergy. Take the counter-measure and then take one of the items on the table to see which you are now allergic to.

She breathed in and said "Homework. Write me 3 paragraphs on the immortality mushroom and it's properties. And then find someone who could use the potion and give them a vial. This is worth ten points and is due in exactly one week. You may finish testing your potions, but class is dismissed."
Noting down the Professor's explanation on his parchment Vickers collected his set of reishi mushrooms, then set the container beside the cutting board. He scourgified his knife and board again, before setting the mushrooms onto it and proceeding to slice them with the care as he did with the basil leaves.
After adding the mushrooms in he picked up his wand and mimicked the way the Professor performed the spell.
"Sanum." he uttered. He peered into the mixture... it looked like soup to him, smelled like one too.
He turned his attention back to front when the Professor advised those with allergies to start drinking it as soon as it has cooled some. He was both anxious and excited to see if it would work, and reached out to scourgify a cup for himself.
Taking the wooden spoon he scooped up the mixture into the cup and took a whiff-- it smelled really good. He tipped the cup into his lips and drank slowly, the mixture still very warm but not hot enough to burn.
He noted down the Professor's instructions for homework then took a rather large sampling for himself. He can source a vial later for giving away, but if this does work he will need more than just a small vial for himself. With his homework in mind, Vickers cleaned up his work area, packed his things into his book bag and as he made his way towards the door, he nodded his head politely towards the Potions Mistress
"Thank you for the lesson Professor."
