New Start-Mushrooms

Spring is a time of starting anew. It is also a time to explore our world and to seek out hidden treasures. Sorry for the Star Trek like introduction-sometimes we are influenced by what we read and see and recently I did watch a version of Star Trek I had never seen before. Regardless, the point is that spring brings out a sense of exploration and discovery unlike any other season. The outdoors beckons and is revealing treasures that have been hidden over the winter. While the flowers and trees take the lead with their obvious bursts of colors and leaves another species takes a subtler approach. They are the mushrooms. Let's explore mushrooms today.

The American Mushroom Institute has a wonderful and informative lesson plan to start our investigation of mushrooms.

Another lesson plan from the North American Mycological Association takes more of a hands on approach.
