Taste buds and taste papillae. Taste papillae can be seen on the tongue as little red dots, or raised bumps, particularly at the front of the tongue. These ones are actually called "fungiform" papillae, because they look like little button mushrooms. There are three other kinds of papillae, foliate, circumvallate and the non-gustatory filiform. Taste buds, on the other hand, are collections of cells on these papillae and cannot be seen by the naked eye. To illustrate the point, have a look at the diagram below. You can see that the taste buds are collections of cells situated on top of, or on the sides of, the different papillae.
