Coloring book edible mushrooms for children. Children about mushrooms - mushroom pictures and stories

All mushrooms are united in a kingdom, and if so, then they should have a king. In forest mushrooms, the porcini mushroom is considered the main mushroom, and its throne can most often be found under a pine tree.

The rest of the mushrooms have also managed to choose a suitable place of residence for thousands of years, so now each mushroom has its own favorite tree.

  • Ryzhik prefer to hide in spruce and pine forests.
  • Oilers also love coniferous thickets.
  • Boletus mushrooms grow in clearings and lawns, under slender birch trees. They are companionable comrades and are rarely seen alone.
  • Aspen hospitably give shelter to boletus.
  • Honey mushrooms are very fond of sitting on stumps.
  • Chanterelles hide their red ears in soft grass at the edge, in mixed forests.
  • Dubovik is good in oak groves.
  • Russula like deciduous trees.
  • Champignons are the most demanding mushrooms. They need an environment rich in fertilizer.

Images of all these mushrooms can be printed for free or downloaded from our collection. black and white pictures for babies.

“They take every mushroom in their hands, but not everyone puts it in the body,” says folk wisdom.

Some mushrooms are not only harmful, but even dangerous! The most honest of them is fly agaric. It is so bright that it seems to warn a person - "do not touch me!".

But the rest are very cunning and pretend to be edible with all their might. They are called "false". False chanterelles, mushrooms, mushrooms, butterflies, champignons - almost every noble mushroom has its own werewolf!

Therefore, in order not to accidentally get poisoned, you will have to get acquainted with poisonous mushrooms too. After all, who knows when they will want to jump into our basket?!

Coloring mushrooms for children on our website is a completely safe opportunity to start navigating the diversity of the mushroom world.

The best way to independently learn to recognize edible and non-edible edible mushrooms is to get acquainted with their names, descriptions and photos. Of course, it is better if you walk through the forest several times with an experienced mushroom picker, or show your prey at home, but everyone needs to learn to distinguish between real and false mushrooms.

You will find the names of mushrooms in alphabetical order, their descriptions and photos in this article, which you can later use as a guide to mushroom growing.

Types of mushrooms

The species diversity of mushrooms is very wide, so there is a strict classification of these inhabitants of the forest (Figure 1).

So, according to their edibility, they are divided into:

  • Edible (white, boletus, champignon, chanterelle, etc.);
  • Conditionally edible (dubovik, greenfinch, veselka, breast, line);
  • Poisonous (satanic, pale grebe, fly agaric).

In addition, they are usually divided according to the type of bottom of the hat. According to this classification, they are tubular (outwardly resembles a porous sponge) and lamellar (plates are clearly visible on the inside of the cap). The first group includes butter, white, boletus and boletus. To the second - mushrooms, milk mushrooms, chanterelles, mushrooms and russula. Morels, which include morels and truffles, are considered a separate group.


Figure 1. Classification of edible varieties

It is also customary to separate them according to nutritional value. According to this classification, they are of four types:

Since there are a lot of species, we will give the names of the most popular with their pictures. The best edible mushrooms with photos and names are shown in the video.

Edible mushrooms: photos and names

Edible varieties include those that can be freely eaten fresh, dried and boiled. They have high taste qualities, and you can distinguish an edible specimen from an inedible one in the forest by the color and shape of the fruiting body, smell, and some characteristic features.


Figure 2. Popular edible species: 1 - white, 2 - oyster mushroom, 3 - volushki, 4 - chanterelles

We offer a list of the most popular edible mushrooms with photo and names(picture 2 and 3):

  • White mushroom (boletus)- the most valuable find for a mushroom picker. It has a massive light stem, and the color of the cap can vary from cream to dark brown, depending on the region of growth. When broken, the flesh does not change color, and has a slight nutty flavor. It comes in several types: birch, pine and oak. All of them are similar in external characteristics and fit for food.
  • Oyster mushroom: regal, pulmonary, horn-shaped and lemon, grows mainly on trees. Moreover, you can collect it not only in the forest, but also at home, sowing mycelium on logs or stumps.
  • Volnushki, white and pink, have a hat depressed in the center, the diameter of which can reach 8 cm. The wave has a sweet pleasant smell, and at the break, the fruiting body begins to secrete sticky, sticky juice. They can be found not only in the forest, but also in open places.
  • Chanterelles- more often they are bright yellow, but there are also light species (white chanterelle). They have a cylindrical stem that expands upwards, and the cap is not correct form, slightly depressed in the middle.
  • Butter dish there are also several types (real, cedar, deciduous, granular, white, yellow-brown, painted, red-red, red, gray, etc.). The most common is considered to be a real oiler, which grows on sandy soils in deciduous forests. The cap is flat, with a small tubercle in the middle, and feature- mucous skin, which is easily separated from the pulp.
  • Honey mushrooms, meadow, autumn, summer and winter, belong to edible varieties that are very easy to collect, as they grow in large colonies on tree trunks and stumps. The color of honey agaric may vary depending on the region of growth and species, but, as a rule, its shade varies from cream to light brown. Feature edible mushrooms - the presence of a ring on the leg, which is not present in false twins.
  • Aspen mushrooms belong to the tubular: they have a thick stem and a cap of regular shape, the color of which differs depending on the species from cream to yellow and dark brown.
  • mushrooms- bright, beautiful and tasty, which can be found in coniferous forests. Hat of the correct form, flat or funnel-shaped. The leg is cylindrical and dense, the color matches the hat. The flesh is orange, but in the air it quickly turns green and begins to secrete juice with a pronounced smell of coniferous resin. The smell is pleasant, and the taste of its flesh is slightly spicy.

Figure 3. The best edible mushrooms: 1 - butter dish, 2 - mushrooms, 3 - aspen mushrooms, 4 - mushrooms

Edible varieties also include champignons, shiitake, russula, truffles and many other species that are not so much interested in mushroom pickers. However, it should be remembered that almost every edible variety has a poisonous counterpart, the names and features of which we will consider below.

Conditionally edible

Conditionally edible varieties are slightly less, and they are suitable for eating only after special heat treatment. Depending on the variety, it must either be boiled for a long time, periodically changing the water, or simply soaked in clean water, squeeze and cook.

The most popular conditionally edible varieties include(picture 4):

  1. breast- a variety with dense pulp, which is quite suitable for eating, although milk mushrooms are considered inedible in Western countries. They are usually soaked to remove bitterness, then salted and pickled.
  2. Row green (greenfinch) distinctly different from others in green legs and caps, which is preserved even after heat treatment.
  3. Morels- conditionally edible specimens with unusual shape hats and thick legs. It is recommended to eat them only after careful heat treatment.

Figure 4. Conditionally edible varieties: 1 - mushroom, 2 - greenfinch, 3 - morels

Conditionally edible also include some types of truffles, russula and fly agaric. But there is one important rule, which should be followed when collecting any mushrooms, including conditionally edible ones: if you have even slight doubts about edibility, it is better to leave the prey in the forest.

Inedible mushrooms: photos and names

Inedible include species that are not eaten due to health hazards, poor taste and too hard pulp. Many representatives of this category are completely poisonous (deadly) to humans, others can cause hallucinations or mild discomfort.

It is worth avoiding such inedible specimens.(with photo and titles in Figure 5):

  1. Death cap- the most dangerous inhabitant of the forest, since even a small part of it can cause death. Despite the fact that it grows in almost all forests, it is quite difficult to meet it. Outwardly, it is absolutely proportional and very attractive: in young specimens, the cap is spherical with a slight greenish tinge, with age it turns white and stretches. Pale grebes are often confused with young floats (conditionally edible mushrooms), champignons and russula, and since one large specimen can easily poison several adults, with the slightest doubt, it is better not to put a suspicious or dubious specimen in a basket.
  2. red fly agaric, probably familiar to everyone. He is very beautiful, with a bright red hat, covered with white spots. It can grow both singly and in groups.
  3. Satanic- one of the most common twins white fungus. To distinguish it simply by a light hat and a brightly colored leg, uncharacteristic of mushrooms.

Figure 5. Dangerous inedible varieties: 1 - pale grebe, 2 - red fly agaric, 3 - satanic mushroom

In fact, every edible double has a false double that disguises itself as a real one and can fall into the basket of an inexperienced quiet hunter. But, in fact, the biggest mortal danger represents the pale grebe.

Note: Not only the fruiting bodies of pale grebes themselves are considered poisonous, but even their mycelium and spores, so it is strictly forbidden to even put them in a basket.

Most inedible varieties cause abdominal pain and symptoms severe poisoning and it is enough to provide medical assistance to a person. In addition, many inedible varieties have an unattractive appearance and poor taste, so they can only be eaten by accident. However, you must always be aware of the danger of poisoning, and carefully review all the booty that you brought from the forest.

The most dangerous inedible mushrooms detailed in the video.

The main difference between hallucinogenic and other types is that they have a psychotropic effect. Their action is in many ways similar to narcotic substances, so their intentional collection and use is punishable by criminal liability.

Common hallucinogenic varieties include(picture 6):

  1. Fly agaric red- a common inhabitant of deciduous forests. In ancient times, tinctures and decoctions from it were used as an antiseptic, immunomodulatory agent and intoxicant for various rituals among the peoples of Siberia. However, it is not recommended to eat it, not so much because of the effect of hallucinations, but because of severe poisoning.
  2. Stropharia shitty got its name from the fact that it grows directly on piles of feces. Representatives of the variety are small, with brown hats, sometimes with a shiny and sticky surface.
  3. Paneolus campanulata (bell asshole) also grows mainly on manure-fertilized soils, but can also be found simply on swampy plains. The color of the cap and legs is from white to gray, the flesh is gray.
  4. Stropharia blue-green prefers stumps coniferous trees growing on them singly or in groups. Eating it by accident will not work, as it has a very unpleasant taste. In Europe, such stropharia is considered edible and even bred on farms, while in the USA it is considered poisonous due to several deaths.

Figure 6. Common hallucinogenic varieties: 1 - red fly agaric, 2 - shitty stropharia, 3 - campanulate paneolus, 4 - blue-green stropharia

Most hallucinogenic species grow in places where edible ones simply will not take root (too waterlogged soils, completely rotten stumps and manure heaps). In addition, they are small, mostly on thin legs, so it is difficult to confuse them with edible ones.

Poisonous mushrooms: photos and names

All poisonous varieties are somehow similar to edible ones (Figure 7). Even the deadly pale grebe, especially young specimens, can be confused with russula.

For example, there are several doubles of the boletus - boletus le Gal, beautiful and purple, which differ from the real ones in the too bright color of the legs or hat, as well as the unpleasant smell of the pulp. There are also varieties that are easy to confuse with mushrooms or russula (for example, fiber and talker). Gall is similar to white, but its pulp has a very bitter taste.


Figure 7. Poisonous twins: 1 - purple boletus, 2 - bile, 3 - royal fly agaric, 4 - yellow-skinned champignon

There are also poisonous doubles of mushrooms, which differ from the real ones in the absence of a leathery skirt on the leg. Poisonous varieties include fly agaric: grebe, panther, red, royal, smelly and white. Cobwebs are easily disguised as russula, mushrooms or aspen mushrooms.

There are also several types of poisonous champignons. For example, yellow-skinned is easy to confuse with an ordinary edible specimen, but during heat treatment it emits a pronounced unpleasant odor.

Unusual mushrooms of the world: names

Despite the fact that Russia is a truly mushroom country, very unusual specimens can be found not only here, but throughout the world.

We offer you several options for unusual edible and poisonous varieties with photos and names(picture 8):

  1. Blue- bright azure color. Found in India and New Zealand. Despite the fact that its toxicity is little studied, it is not recommended to eat it.
  2. bleeding tooth- a very bitter variety that is theoretically edible but unappealing appearance and bad taste make it unfit for food. Found in North America, Iran, Korea and some European countries.
  3. bird's Nest- an unusual New Zealand variety that really resembles a bird's nest in shape. Inside the fruiting body are spores that, under the influence of rainwater, spread around.
  4. Blackberry comb also found in Russia. Its taste is similar to shrimp meat, and outwardly resembles a shaggy pile. Unfortunately, it is rare and listed in the Red Book, so it is grown mainly artificially.
  5. Golovach giant- a distant relative of champignon. It is also edible, but only young specimens with white flesh. It is found everywhere in deciduous forests, in fields and meadows.
  6. Devil's cigar- not only very beautiful, but also a rare variety that is found only in Texas and several regions of Japan.

Figure 8. The most unusual mushrooms in the world: 1 - blue, 2 - bleeding tooth, 3 - bird's nest, 4 - comb blackberry, 5 - giant golovach, 6 - devil's cigar

Another unusual representative is the brain tremor, which is found mainly in temperate climates. You can not eat it, as it is deadly poisonous. We have given a far from complete list of unusual varieties, since specimens of a strange shape and color are found all over the world. Unfortunately, most of them are inedible.

An overview of the unusual mushrooms of the world is given in the video.

Lamellar and tubular: names

All mushrooms are divided into lamellar and tubular, depending on the type of pulp on the cap. If it resembles a sponge, it is tubular, and if stripes are visible under the hat, then it is lamellar.

by the most famous representative tubular is considered white, but oil, boletus and boletus are also included in this group. Everyone has probably seen the lamellar one: this is the most common champignon, but it is among the lamellar varieties that the most poisonous ones are. Among the edible representatives, russula, mushrooms, mushrooms and chanterelles can be distinguished.

The article describes in detail the process of drawing mushrooms with a pencil. It will interest those people who are fond of drawing or just dream of learning how to draw. Also, this master class will be useful to parents who want to captivate their children with drawing, teach them how to draw.


Many inexperienced artists think about how to draw mushrooms. To correctly draw mushrooms with a pencil, and then color them, you can consider beautiful and clear pictures which can be found in encyclopedias and educational magazines. And you can draw mushrooms in the forest from nature, if possible. In nature, it is most convenient to make sketches with a simple pencil or with a pen, and you can color them at home.

Before you draw a mushroom, you need to prepare:

1. Liner;
2. Pencil;
3. Pencils of various shades;
4. Eraser;
5. Album sheet.

It is better to draw mushrooms in stages:

1. Draw the legs of three mushrooms and a line indicating the ground.

2. Sketch mushroom caps. So far, mushrooms look like hammers, but this is only a sketch, later the drawing will become more realistic.

3. Draw the hat of the extreme fungus.

4. Draw the bottom of the large mushroom cap.

5. Draw the top of the mushroom cap.

6. Draw the hat of the last fungus.

7. Draw blades of grass and a leaf lying on the hat of one of the mushrooms.

8. Outline the image with a liner.

9. Use an eraser to remove the pencil sketch.

10. Color the cap and fungus of the little mushroom. When coloring and drawing mushrooms, consider the features of their structure. For example, in this case, russula are depicted, the hats of which come in different shades. Caps of porcini mushrooms can be painted brown, and not yellow or red. And fly agarics, for example, have a characteristic “skirt” on the leg.

11. Color the cap of a large mushroom using yellow, brown and red tones of pencils.

12. Stroke the bottom of the mushroom cap and its leg with gray and brown pencils.

13. Color the third mushroom with the same colors as the big one.

14. Grass, as well as a leaf, paint over with a green pencil.

The drawing of wild mushrooms is ready. It will also not be difficult for children to draw mushrooms, especially if their parents help them. Kids will surely like to paint mushrooms not only with pencils, but also with felt-tip pens or paints.

How easy is it to draw mushrooms? Tips for Aspiring Artists

How to draw edible mushrooms with a pencil in stages for beginners and children?

To draw edible mushrooms in stages, it is enough to be able to draw simple geometric figures: circle, oval, triangle. A mushroom whose hat resembles a hemisphere is drawn like this:

In the circle, draw an oval that will be the bottom of the cap and an oval that will be the leg of the mushroom.



Erase unnecessary lines with an eraser and color the mushroom with pencils or paints. Mushrooms, whose hats resemble a cone, can be drawn like this:

  • Draw a triangle, point up
  • Draw an oval that will be the bottom edge of the cap and an oval that will be the stem of the mushroom.


Now erase unnecessary lines with an eraser and color in the mushroom. You can add leaves or grass to the drawing.



If you need to draw mushrooms whose hats look like funnels, then a triangle will need to be drawn with the top down.



If the edge of the mushroom cap is wavy, draw a wavy line along the oval line, and remove the auxiliary line with an eraser. It remains to color the mushroom with pencils or paints.



If you do not use a compass or a ruler and the figures turn out to be irregular geometric shapes, this will only add naturalism to your drawings. After all, it is difficult to find mushrooms in nature that have the correct geometric shape. Their hats and legs are of the most bizarre shape.



How to draw mushroom mushroom, chanterelle, white, morel, boletus with a pencil and paints?

To draw a saffron mushroom:

  • Make with a simple pencil, an oval that will be a mushroom cap

White fungus is rarely found in the forest. But, real mushroom pickers return from the "quiet hunt" with these beautiful mushrooms in baskets.



King of mushrooms - white mushroom

has a quirky irregular shape. It is difficult to draw it because you need to draw each of its holes separately.



If you meet this mushroom in the forest, do not pass by it. It is a delicious edible mushroom.

Mushrooms can inspire artists to paint and gardeners to create living sculptures from trees. This is what mushroom trees look like.



Mushrooms love to draw young artists. They can be realistic and fabulous, large and very small. In the picture below, there are many small porcini mushrooms that children collect.



But in the following figure, porcini mushrooms are depicted close-up. To create the same beautiful and realistic picture, you will need colored crayons.



So you can draw a mushroom boletus. This mushroom may have a grayish or brownish cap.



Below is another drawing in which mushrooms are the central part of the composition. Mushrooms grow on it in a magical, fairy-tale forest. Apparently this is a mushroom family: mother and daughter.



professional artist painted with paints a white mushroom close-up. This mushroom is edible. Such a giant can be cut off and taken with you.

And the poisonous fly agaric mushrooms look so beautiful. You should not put these mushrooms in baskets and it is better not to touch them with your hands. You can just admire such beauty and look for edible mushrooms in the forest. You should know these mushrooms “by sight” and do not collect mushrooms in baskets if you are in doubt whether this mushroom is edible or not.



VIDEO: How to draw mushrooms?


Collecting mushrooms is a fun activity. Chanterelles, boletus, boletus, milk mushrooms. There are no mushrooms, but the white mushroom is considered the king of all mushrooms, with a thick white leg and a wide brown cap. If you like not only picking mushrooms, but also drawing, then let's try together draw mushrooms, more precisely, we will draw a white mushroom. We will do the drawing of the mushroom in stages with a simple pencil, but on last step you can color the mushroom drawing with paints or colored pencils. And if you draw leaves and grass next to it, then the picture of the mushroom will be very beautiful and attractive.

1. Let's mark the legs of the mushroom

First, draw just two circles for the stem of the mushroom. The circles will help you further precisely maintain the correct proportions in the drawing of the porcini mushroom.

2. Add a hat to the leg

Draw two "ears" next to the leg, like those of Cheburashka. They will help you draw a mushroom cap. At the base of the leg, add a "flattened" oval. After all, mushrooms are not perfectly even, their legs are bent, their hats are dented, so in order to draw a realistic mushroom, you need to take into account these "little things".

3. How to draw a general outline of a mushroom

You see how easy it is to draw the shape of a mushroom when there are geometric guidelines. It is enough for you to circle these “circles” with a pencil, almost an arbitrary line, and you will get a real white mushroom.

4. Drawing of a porcini mushroom in detail

Before draw a mushroom in more detail, remove unnecessary outlines from the drawing. Completely decorate the hat and draw the edge of the hat with two lines. All the beauty of the porcini mushroom is in its contrasting hat. It is white on the inside and brown on top. The gap on the edge of the cap will only emphasize this effect.

5. How to draw a mushroom. Final stage

You see how easy and simple it is to draw mushrooms if you draw in stages. In just how many simple steps and you are already preparing to paint over the drawing with paints or pencils. The drawing of the mushroom looks very impressive in the technique of applying shadows with a pencil. If you also think so, you can simply shade the mushroom with a soft pencil, as in my drawing.

6. Drawing of a mushroom. surrounding landscape

Small growing mushrooms painted around, yellowed leaves, grass, twigs. They will make the drawing more attractive and realistic. If you were able to draw a mushroom beautifully and correctly, try to continue the drawing and draw the surrounding landscape. You can even draw a hedgehog next to the mushrooms. These animals are very fond of picking mushrooms, preparing them for the winter.


Many mushrooms grow in birch forests, you can draw such a birch next to the mushrooms.


Not only people collect mushrooms, but some animals do too. Squirrel prepares a whole warehouse of dried mushrooms for the winter.


Next to the mushrooms, you can draw fallen leaves of trees, a hedgehog or a squirrel. The drawing of the mushroom will become more picturesque and realistic.


Mushrooms grow in shady places, but not under any tree. Even the name of the mushroom often indicates this: boletus, boletus. A lot of mushrooms grow in spruce forests.


Harvesting food supplies for the winter, the hedgehog pricks mushrooms and apples on its needles and transfers them in this way. Good plot if you're up to it draw mushrooms.


To make the mushroom pattern more attractive, draw a butterfly sitting on the mushroom cap. True, butterflies usually prefer flowers instead of mushrooms, but for the sake of beautiful drawing slight inaccuracies may be allowed.


This drawing of a Christmas tree is designed for a New Year's picture or postcard. But it can be used for drawing mushrooms, since many mushrooms, especially porcini mushrooms, "love" to grow in pine forest, sometimes forming whole mushroom glades.
