Mushrooms may be great on pizza and burgers, but place a few on a piece of paper, and they're in-spore-ational!
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Fresh, whole white or portobello mushrooms
White paper Drinking glass Non-aerosol hair spray | |
| Seasons: Spring, Summer | |
| Materials: paints, paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | To make spore prints, carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms. Expose the gills by using a knife (a parent's job) to trim back the lower edges of the caps. |
| 2. | Place the mushrooms on a sheet of paper and cover each one with an inverted glass. Let stand overnight. The mushrooms will release spores from their caps to create distinctive patterns. |
| 3. | Carefully lift first the glasses, then the mushrooms, to reveal the spore prints. To preserve the designs, coat with non-aerosol hair spray. |
