Hi all! Today we have prepared for you a lesson on how to draw a mushroom step by step. In general, these are one of the most mysterious living creatures inhabiting our globe, and at the same time, one of the most ancient.
If you think that mushrooms appear in a person’s life only when he enjoys mushroom soup or julienne, you are slightly underestimating the role of mushrooms. Although no, not “a little” at all. Firstly, the first antibiotic obtained by mankind - penicillin - was isolated from penecillum, a mold.
Antibiotics became the salvation of people and a revolution, a real breakthrough, after which many infectious diseases ceased to be a death sentence, and the sick person received real hope for healing. Well, today we will draw not a microfungus, but real large forest mushrooms. So let's get started!
Division by type of culinary suitability.
TASTY - Mushrooms that are recognized by the vast majority of mushroom pickers and lovers of mushroom cooking.
EDIBLE - Mushrooms suitable for traditional cooking without any special frills. NOT TASTY - These mushrooms can be eaten if there are simply no other mushrooms. CONDITIONALLY EDIBLE - Mushrooms that are prepared for food or other use of the unit. However, the risk of poisoning remains. POISONOUS - Mushrooms that are simply not worth eating. DANGEROUS - These mushrooms are dangerous because they can be easily confused with good edible mushrooms in appearance. It is precisely these edible-poisonous pairs that I believe should be given special attention. This knowledge can cost the health of those who neglect it. Mine
, as I already mentioned, I did not develop it for science or a mushroom publication; my brief and complete classification is based only on my own views on mushrooms and their similarities. So, for example, I do not distinguish between the shapes of the mushrooms, value and russula, but classify them (based on the shape of the mushroom body) as milk mushrooms. Agreeing with my classification or criticizing it is your personal business, as right as eating or not eating mushrooms. I use my classifier and it’s convenient for me, I’m not interested in arguing in vain, but if you offer your classifier, it will be interesting.
This is an average difficulty lesson. It can be difficult for adults to repeat this lesson, so I don’t recommend drawing a mushroom for young children using this lesson, but if you really want to, you can try it. I also want to - be sure to try to repeat it if you still have time and desire to draw today.
Trio of poisonous fly agarics
Now you can carefully study how to draw a fly agaric. We start the work with two mushrooms of different sizes, tilting them in opposite directions so that there is empty space between them. Thin legs with skirts and triangle-shaped hats.
In the background between them we draw a long leg, drawing it high above them. Almost right next to the hat we draw the skirt. The top of the mushroom looks like a flat plate.
For a large fly agaric, you need to make a high cap, pulling it up in the form of a triangle.
We decorate the composition. It is better to do this with colored pencils: the edges of the mushroom are brown, the middle of the legs and the bottom of the skirt of the large cap are light brown, the caps are red with white circles. At the bottom we draw long and narrow grass.
What you will need
In order to draw a mushroom we may need:
- Paper. It is better to take medium-grain special paper: beginning artists will find it much more pleasant to draw on this kind of paper.
- Sharpened pencils. I advise you to take several degrees of hardness, each should be used for different purposes.
- Eraser.
- Stick for rubbing hatching. You can use plain paper rolled into a cone. It will be easy for her to rub the shading, turning it into a monotonous color.
- A little patience.
- Good mood.
We prepare everything you need
Collective application “mushrooms in a clearing” for children of the older group.
For the drawing, take:
- A simple pencil with an eraser;
- Paper.
It is best to use a pencil that can draw a line quite easily without requiring effort.
The ideal combination is a set with several degrees of hardness or softness. To create the first sketch, the best pencil with the designation “HB” is best, which more accurately characterizes it as “hard-soft”.
The paper must be thick enough to withstand more than one erase. Since it can be difficult to draw a mushroom step by step the first time, you will have to use an eraser repeatedly.
Thin sheets will quickly form pills and rub the surface. You probably don’t want to spoil a beautiful drawing with rough paper.
Step by step lesson
It will be much easier to draw food or still life if you see it live. No photograph can convey the chiaroscuro that real objects provide. It will be much easier to draw a mushroom if you can see and penetrate into the very essence... If it is not possible to draw from life, try using an image search in Google or Yandex.
By the way, in addition to this lesson, I advise you to pay attention to the lesson “”. It will help improve your skill or just give you a little fun.
Please note that every object, every living creature, every phenomenon on paper can be depicted using simple geometric objects: circles, squares and triangles. They are the ones who create the form; they are the ones the artist needs to see in the surrounding objects. There is no house, there are several large rectangles and a triangle. This makes building complex objects much easier.
Tip: create a sketch with as thin strokes as possible. The thicker the sketch strokes are, the more difficult it will be to erase them later.
The first step, or rather the zero step, is always to mark a sheet of paper. This will let you know where exactly the drawing will be located. If you place the drawing on half of the sheet, you can use the other half for another drawing. Here is an example of marking a sheet in the center:
If you not only like to pick mushrooms, but also like to draw, let's try to draw mushrooms together, or rather, to draw a porcini mushroom. Let's draw the mushroom step by step, first with a simple pencil. At the last step, you can color the picture of the mushroom with paints or colored pencils, and if you draw grass next to it, the picture of the mushroom will be very beautiful and attractive.
1. Let's mark the mushroom stem
First, draw just two circles for the mushroom stem. The circles will help you further accurately maintain the correct proportions of the mushroom pattern.
2. Add a cap to the mushroom stem
Draw two “ears” next to the stem of the mushroom, like Cheburashka’s. They will help you draw a mushroom cap. Add a “flattened” oval at the base of the leg. Mushrooms are not perfectly straight, their legs are curved, their caps are wrinkled, so in order to draw a realistic mushroom, you need to take these “little things” into account.
3. How to draw the general outline of a mushroom
You see how easy it is to draw the shape of a mushroom now that you have guidelines. All you have to do is draw a pencil, almost an arbitrary line, around these “circles” and you will get a real porcini mushroom.
4. Drawing of a mushroom in detail
Before drawing the mushroom in more detail, remove the extra contours from the drawing. Completely design the mushroom cap and draw the “edge” of the cap with two lines. All the beauty of the porcini mushroom is in its contrasting cap. It is white inside and brown on top. A gap at the edge of the mushroom cap will emphasize this effect.
5. How to draw a mushroom. Final stage
You see how easy and simple it is to draw mushrooms if you draw them step by step. Just a few simple steps and you are ready to paint over the mushroom with paints or pencils. The drawing of a mushroom looks very impressive using a simple pencil technique. If you also think so, you can simply shade the mushroom with a soft simple pencil, as in my drawing.
6. Drawing of a mushroom. Ambient
Small growing mushrooms drawn around the mushroom. Yellowed leaves, grass, twigs will make the picture more attractive and realistic. If you were able to draw a mushroom beautifully and correctly, try to continue the drawing and draw the surrounding landscape. You can even draw it next to the mushrooms. These animals love to collect mushrooms, preparing them on.
Now you know how to draw a mushroom. If you put in the effort, I believe you will achieve everything you set your mind to. Now you can pay attention to the lesson “” - it is just as interesting and exciting. Well, there are social network buttons for a reason =)
How to draw mushrooms easily? Tips for Beginning Artists
Several pieces on one sheet
How to beautifully draw a daisy with a pencil step by step for beginners? how to draw a bouquet of daisies with a pencil step by step?
First, we will practice with you, which will be expressed in the whole family of mushrooms. At first it may be difficult for us to output everything exactly as original. That's why we'll turn to a cartoon example.
Step 1. Outline the contours of the image, as it should be with any similar work
No matter what you are trying to show, we always go from primitive figures, making them more complex towards the end. Now we are drawing two circles that will act as caps, and two lines extending from them
Their height will be equal to the future legs.
Step 2. Now we show the shape of the cap more clearly. Remember we said that it is necessary to use different densities of pencils? Now is the time when you need to take a softer look.
Step 3. Your drawn mushroom in the picture will not do without the freely shown pattern on its upper part. Most often they are guided by the most recognizable patterns.
Step 4. Next, we begin to form the legs. Since our look is far from the original, we can show them in a way that is convenient for us. You shouldn't dwell long at this stage.
Step 5. All that remains is to draw small mushrooms behind those in the foreground, and you can finish. If necessary, the work can be supplemented with leaves or something similar.
How to draw edible mushrooms with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?
To draw edible mushrooms step by step, it is enough to be able to draw simple geometric shapes: circle, oval, triangle. A mushroom whose cap resembles a hemisphere is drawn like this:
In a circle, draw an oval that will be the bottom of the cap and an oval that will be the stem of the mushroom.
Remove unnecessary lines with an eraser and color the mushroom with pencils or paints. Mushrooms whose caps resemble a cone can be drawn like this:
- Draw a triangle, point up
- Draw an oval that will be the bottom edge of the cap and an oval that will be the stem of the mushroom
Now erase the unnecessary lines with an eraser and color the mushroom. You can add leaves or grass to the design.
If you need to draw mushrooms whose caps look like funnels, then you will need to draw a triangle with the top down.
If the edge of the mushroom cap is wavy, draw a wavy line along the oval line and remove the auxiliary line with an eraser. All that remains is to color the mushroom with pencils or paints.
If you don't use a compass or ruler and the figures turn out to be of irregular geometric shape, this will only add naturalism to your drawings. After all, it is difficult to find mushrooms in nature that have the correct geometric shape. Their caps and legs come in the most bizarre shapes.
boletus
This mushroom has a high, curved stalk. The hat is thick and red. They have a spongy layer underneath. It won’t be difficult even for a child to draw it. Here is a small easy master class.
- 1 step. Let's draw a hat. To do this, draw a horizontal line. Its length is the width of the cap. From the ends of the line at the top, draw an arc.
- Step 2. We depict the leg in the form of an elongated vertical oval. That's the whole lesson. All that remains is to paint.
- Step 3. The hat can be dark brown or gray. The bottom layer is white. The pattern on the leg resembles birch bark. Everyone can imagine this tree and repeat a similar drawing, only in a smaller form.
How to draw saffron mushroom, chanterelle, white, morel, boletus mushroom with a pencil and paints?
To draw a camelina mushroom:
- Using a simple pencil, make an oval, which will be the mushroom cap.
- Then draw the cone-shaped bottom part of the cap
- Draw a leg and use strokes to indicate on the cap that it is concave
The shape of the cap of the saffron milk cap resembles a deep saucer. Add leaves, grass and small mushrooms. Color with pencil or paints. The recess in the center of the cap should be painted in a darker color or shaded a little with a black pencil.

To draw a chanterelle mushroom
using geometric shapes:
- Draw a triangle with the cone pointing downwards
- Draw a leg that thickens towards the top with two straight lines.
- Draw an oval, which will be the mushroom cap.
- Use a wavy line to indicate that the cap has uneven edges.
- Smooth out sharp corners and remove unnecessary lines
The edges of this mushroom's cap are slightly curved downwards and may be zigzag-shaped.
Draw small details with a black or gray pencil and color with paints or pencils.
Real mushroom pickers go for mushrooms early in the morning. And even if there are only a few mushrooms, a wonderful walk in the forest is guaranteed to everyone without exception.

Draw a white mushroom
simpler than other mushrooms because it has a regular geometric shape.
- Draw a semicircular hat
- Finish drawing the thick leg
- Color with pencils or paints
And this way you can draw a porcini mushroom using circles and ovals.
White mushroom can rarely be found in the forest. But real mushroom pickers return from a “quiet hunt” with these beautiful mushrooms in baskets.
The king of mushrooms is the porcini mushroom
has a bizarre, irregular shape. It is difficult to draw because you need to draw each of its holes separately.
If you come across this mushroom in the forest, do not pass by it. This is a delicious edible mushroom.

boletus mushroom
has a thick and long leg, a wide but not massive cap. Its leg is covered with small gray or brown scales. To draw a boletus mushroom, novice artists can use the step-by-step drawing method.
- Draw a circle
- Above the center of the circle inside, draw an oval, which will be the mushroom cap.
- Add a small oval that will be where the cap meets the stem.
- Now let's draw a long but wide leg
- Removing auxiliary lines
- Add scales to the stem and color the mushroom with pencils or paints
The boletus grows in sunlit clearings, ravines and forest edges. It can rarely be found in the wilderness.

Basket with mushrooms
A master class on drawing a basket with mushrooms will be of interest to caring parents and children.
Creative work fuels interest in non-classical drawing techniques, develops motor skills and imagination, fosters a love for the surrounding nature, and evokes positive emotions.
While drawing, you can have a casual conversation with children on nature topics, discussing the questions “Why do they go to the forest”, “What gifts does the forest give”, “Which mushrooms are edible and which are inedible”, “How to behave correctly in the forest so as not to get lost "
An original version of how to draw a basket with mushrooms is offered in an interesting master class:
- Make mushroom stamps from raw potatoes. To do this, cut the potatoes into two halves, remove excess raw materials from each of them with a knife, leaving a convex outline of the mushroom.
- Draw a circle on a landscape sheet and divide it into parts with a horizontal line. The lower part is large, this is the basket, add another one to the upper arc, this is the handle of the basket.
- Take an empty matchbox, dip the wide side into brown gouache and make several successive prints along the bottom contour of the basket, filling the entire volume of the basket with parallel prints.
- Paint the potato stamp - the mushroom cap with red paint, the stem - with white paint.
- Place several mushroom stamps above the basket.
To complete the picture and give it a forest spirit, you can put several leaf stamps. To do this, a dried leaf of wood is painted and stamped on paper.
Yellow fox
It's time to consider the technology for creating a completely different mushroom, the cap of which has a different shape. So, how to draw a fox? With a slight movement of the pencil we draw the outlines of the future mushroom. First, a horizontal line, through the middle of which the skeleton of the leg runs in the form of a curve. Now it needs to be limited on both sides by two more oblique lines, which will show the size of the lower element. Next, from the last element we draw two curves to the sides, which create the shape of a bowl. Draw the top rim of the cap in the form of a compressed circle.
Near the root we draw a piece of grass with sharp teeth. From the end of the stem we draw several curves along the bottom of the cap to its border.
We outline the mushroom with a dark brown pencil, painting it with a brown tint, leaving in some places areas for a light shade. We paint the grass green, framing it with a dark shade, and add separate highlights of light green color along the blades of grass.
Beneficial and harmful properties of wavefish
The mushrooms, like many other types of mushrooms, contain a large amount of valuable substances that make them beneficial to human health.
The composition of the wave includes:
- vitamin A;
- vitamin B6;
- vitamin C;
- folic acid;
- glucose;
- fructose;
- lecithin;
- a nicotinic acid;
- magnesium;
- iron;
- calcium.
Yellow wave (volnukha)
The beneficial properties of wave mushrooms include the following:
- improving the functioning of the cardiovascular system;
- strengthening the immune system;
- preventing the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood;
- stimulation of metabolic processes in the body;
- improving brain function;
- cleansing and strengthening blood vessels;
- toning the body;
- strengthening the nervous system;
- providing a powerful anti-inflammatory effect;
- quick feeling of fullness, fight against hunger;
- improving the condition of the skin and hair;
- normalization of heart rate;
- healing of joints;
- preventing the development of cancerous tumors;
- preventing stress and nervous tension.
Volnushki contain a large number of amino acids, which are completely absorbed by the body.
Volnushki, like other varieties of mushrooms, contain components that complicate the process of their digestion. That is why those who suffer from acute diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreatitis and cholecystitis should not eat them. Also, volushki should not be eaten by children under 7 years of age, pregnant or lactating women.
Persons who have undergone surgery to remove the gallbladder should not eat this type of mushroom.
Tasks
There are so many representatives of this natural kingdom that each species allows you to offer your child special tasks. To do this, of course, you need to choose suitable pictures with mushrooms for children, as close as possible to natural ones.
Russula
- What color are the caps of these mushrooms?
- Explain what their name says?
- Count: one honey fungus - two honey mushrooms - three...
- Think and tell us why honey mushrooms are often called “friendly”?
- Compare the fox and the fox. How is the chanterelle mushroom similar to the red animal?
- What kind of fox can you see in the kitchen? (fried, boiled, pickled, dried, salted, fresh)
- Where does boletus like to grow most? Which tree “gave” its name to him?
- What can you call a grove in which only aspen boletuses grow? (aspen, aspen)
boletus
- What happens if you pull out mushrooms by the roots, rather than trim them with a knife? Why can't this be done?
- In which forest can boletus be found most often (in a birch grove, in a birch forest).
Boletus (white mushroom)
- Describe the appearance of the boletus.
- Explain why it is also called “white”?
- Can someone hide under a mushroom if it has grown very large?
- Why can't you pick fly agarics?
- What other inedible mushrooms do you know?
Death cap
- Tell us about what poisonous mushrooms are and why pale toadstools are considered so dangerous for people?
- Why doesn't anyone pick up harmful mushrooms?
Games
Different pictures of mushrooms for children allow you to conduct many different kinds of speech therapy games. Here are some examples:
- Collecting mushrooms
Each player chooses one picture of a mushroom and tries to describe its external features. If the other player guesses right, the card goes to him. The one who collects the most pictures wins.
- How are we similar?
An adult chooses two cards (boletus-boletus, white-boletus, russula-fly agaric) and invites the children to see as many differences between them as possible. The last one to answer wins.
- Cheerful cooks
Invite the children to “cook” a lunch of different edible mushrooms that they know. Everyone must choose one picture and name a dish that can be prepared with one or another mushroom (for example: porcini mushroom soup, pickled boletus, boletus mushrooms in sour cream, salted milk mushrooms, etc.
- Oh, what a honey fungus we have!
The image of any mushroom is transmitted from one player to another. Everyone names one of its characteristics, distinctive features of the external structure. The winner is the participant who can see and name some detail last.
- Tales from storytellers
Ask each player to choose one specially selected picture of a mushroom for children. Then everyone must come up with a short story about their character. Tell about his character, habits, activities. For example, Borovik is the king of all mushrooms in the forest, he is strict and important, busy with government affairs from morning to evening, loves to play football and play the balalaika. Older preschoolers can be asked to come up (in a circle) with a whole story about the mushroom kingdom; everyone can draw illustrations for the fairy tale together.
- Mosaic: find a piece
Make cut-out pictures from the cards and invite your child to assemble them. You can use drawings of poisonous and edible mushrooms for this game.
- Full basket
Invite your child to select several cards (he will need a small basket for this), memorize them well and repeat all the names by heart without looking into the basket again. Each player can try to become a mushroom picker by collecting their own set of cards.
