Work submitted for Fungi Connect by team
Shenstone Community Library Forest School -

Using natural materials we found in the woodland we made fungi.  We used conker clamps and palm drills to make a hole in the conker, then a potato peeler to whittle the end of a willow stick to make the stalk fit into the hole in the conker.  We even found some fungi growing from a log in our tool circle!  We also used the clamps and palm drills to drill holes in log slices and used acorn cups and sticks to create some cute fungi sculptures!
