Mushrooms

In this 4-H club activity plan, youth learn about mushroom types, parts and the importance of fungi to the Earth’s ecosystem by creating their own egg carton mushroom. Good for any age.

Themed 4-H club activity plans are designed for 4-H clubs but can be used or adapted for any youth group or after-school program. Each includes arrival and welcome activities, an educational lesson and ideas for recreation and refreshment, all tied to a theme.

Time: Outlines a 60-90 minute 4-H club meeting, including a 20-minute educational activity.
