Nature

This morning we found a family of mushrooms in our yard. With gloves we picked them and brought them inside to look at them more closely. I found this very informative site so that we could learn a bit more about mushrooms. We took care to not handle them with bare hands. We also laid them on parchment paper and thoroughly cleaned the counter after we were done looking and dissecting.
