TFN Junior Naturalists Adventures with Fungi

Thanks to everyone who shared their observations with us this week. Hope you are having fun walks to school, recesses and outdoor time after school!! Nature is with us, in our streets and in our schoolyards!

Please have a look at this slideshow of our observations. Also, at the end of the slideshow, we have shown you a way to use the program iNaturalist, even if you don’t open an account to post your own photos. It is still super helpful for identifying creatures you have seen or photographed.

Try this maze made by Vannessa–a fun little reminder that fall is upon us!!

(if you need to see the solution, we have included it at the bottom of this post)

Finally, have a look at this video which explains so clearly how fungi and green plants help each other.

Have a great week everyone, and enjoy the fall.

The Toronto Field Naturalists wish to acknowledge this land through which we walk. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississauga of the Credit River. Today it is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to be on this land.
