mushrooms




We went on a little path across from our house to make discoveries.  Today the interest was on mushrooms.  I have been on this path hundreds of times but have never taken the time to stop and look at the mushrooms.  They are beautiful, in their own little way.  I told the kids they were in the Fungi group, but unfortunately I didn't have much more information to offer.  I have researched more about it tonight and plan to go back tomorrow (it is just across the street) to identify the cap, gills, ring, stem & volva. I am working on teaching my kids to observe nature without disturbing it, not quite there yet :)
