Mushroom anatomy board

Take a closer look at the fascinating world beneath the mushroom cap with our Mushroom Anatomy Board,  a hands-on educational resource designed to encourage curiosity, observation and a deeper understanding of the natural world.

Featuring a beautifully illustrated mushroom anatomy diagram printed onto timber, children can explore the different parts of a mushroom, including the cap, gills, ring, stem, volva, flesh, warts and mycelium.

The set also includes 4 round acrylic discovery pieces, each featuring a magnified view of a different part of the mushroom. These close-up images invite children to investigate the tiny details that may otherwise go unnoticed and connect them back to the anatomy board.

Perfect for nature tables, classroom investigations, homeschool learning, loose-parts environments and curious little nature lovers.

What’s included

• 1 × timber Mushroom Anatomy Discovery Board
• 4 × acrylic magnified mushroom discovery circles
• Detailed labelled illustrations to support identification and discussion

Learning through discovery

This resource encourages scientific thinking, visual observation, vocabulary development, classification and inquiry-based learning. Children can examine the magnified pieces, identify where they belong on the mushroom and use the board as a starting point for further investigations into fungi, forests and decomposition.
