Making A Spore Print

Today, my teacher gave us four white mushrooms and one brown mushroom. We put the brown mushroom on white paper and the white mushrooms on black paper. We left it for one day. My one is the bottom right. The spores drop from the mushroom's gills. That is how more mushrooms grow. They are not a plant, they have their own family. We have to wash our hands well after touching the mushrooms. The brown mushroom didn't work so well as the white mushrooms. Maybe you could try finding a mushroom or two and leaving it on a piece of paper for a little while. Make sure the mushroom isn't directly in the sun or otherwise it might kill the spores.
