FACTOID!!
More than 50% of your body heat is lost through your head. That's why in the wintertime we wear a toque (a woolen hat).


Spore Prints


Mushrooms do not have seeds like other plants.

Instead they have spores, contained beneath the cap.

Take a mushroom and cut off its stalk.

Place the cap on a piece of white paper open side down.

Leave overnight, then carefully lift the mushroom off the paper.

The spores will have fallen out of the cap and formed a print.

Take a picture of your print and send it in (as a jpeg or mail it as a print), and Global Forest will post it in the GF Gallery along with your name and we will send you a GF sticker for your collection.
