Overview

Did you know mushrooms are not plants? They belong to the Fungi kingdom which is neither plant nor animal. This kingdom includes not only mushrooms, but also molds, mildews, and yeast. See? No "fun guy" puns!

Investiture Achievement Connection: This Honor is related to the Investiture Achievement requirements for FRONTIER GUIDE Nature Study which require (as one of two options) an activity which meets Requirement #2 this Honor. This Honor is a popular choice for the Level 2 or 3 Nature Honor required of FRONTIER GUIDES.

2. Identify fifteen common fungi of your locality. Draw or photograph them from live specimens.
