Fungi Foray with Otatara School Miro Class - 18 March 2022

Heading into the bush we used all our observation skills to spot fungi growing in the forest, talking about where we might find fungi and what kind of places they grow. It was also discussed along the way that this time of year is a good time to start hunting for fungi. We found a few but the highlight find were heaps and heaps of giant scale insects - Coelostomidia! Awesome spotting! We did learn some of the terminology about the parts of fungi! Great to follow the children’s lead and wonder alongside them!
