Mushroom Investigation Journal

Turn your mushroom study into a real scientific investigation with this Mushroom Investigation Journal!

Students can research mushroom varieties using books and other informational sources OR take their journals outdoors and use them as part of a hands-on nature study. The included pages encourage children to observe, research, record, draw, and compare mushrooms and fungi.

Each investigation page gives students space to record information including mushroom name, scientific name, where it grows, size, edibility, color, shape, important features, notes, and an illustration or observation drawing.

The journal includes premade research pages for mushroom varieties including black truffles, boletus mushrooms, bracket fungi, button mushrooms, chanterelles, death cap, fly agaric, haymaker mushrooms, morels, oyster mushrooms, and puffball mushrooms, along with blank pages that can be used to investigate additional mushrooms and fungi.

Students don't need access to wild mushrooms to use this journal! The illustrated pages can be paired with research, while the blank mushroom, fungi, and open-ended investigation pages allow students to document their own discoveries or extend their study to additional fungi.

Perfect for mushroom research, fungi units, nature study, forest school, homeschool science, fall science, outdoor learning, science notebooks, project-based learning, and elementary research projects.
