Mushroom fun facts for curious kids
- Mushrooms are fungi, not plants. They do not need sunlight to grow.
- Mushrooms grow from tiny spores, not seeds.
- Some mushrooms glow in the dark.
- Under the ground, a mushroom’s mycelium network can spread much wider than the mushroom you see above the ground.
- One honey fungus in Oregon is among the largest living organisms on Earth.
Wild mushrooms are for looking, never for eating. Leave picking to grown-ups.
Creative ways to enjoy Milo’s mushroom coloring story
- Read and color: read each page’s story line aloud before coloring its picture.
- Watch Milo grow: compare Milo on page 1 with Big Milo on page 18. Same mushroom, much taller.
- Count the details: count the three pinecones on pages 15 and 16, the eight stars on page 19, and the stars on Milo’s blanket on page 24.

Talk about feelings while you color
Milo feels happy, grumpy, sorry, brave, proud and sleepy through his day. While you color, ask: when do you feel grumpy? What helps you feel brave? What makes you feel proud? It is a good conversation starter for little ones.
