In elementary school, children are given many unique and interesting tasks that can bring out and develop a child's creativity. Such tasks also include a fairy tale about mushrooms of your own composition. Just imagine how happy your child will be to be a writer and be able to get a good mark for such a simple task. However, not all children will be able to easily and immediately write a coherent story.
Where to begin
A few simple rules can help you prepare for the process and tune in to the creative wave:
- Take a draft for your fairy tale. On the draft, you can not only cross out the unnecessary things, but also draw characters to imagine what the child is talking about.
- Write a topic. You can write “Essay. The Tale of Mushrooms" in the center of your draft. This will help the child not to be distracted from the main topic and not to worry that he has forgotten it or misunderstood it.
- Draw your characters, cut them out or select pictures. While playing, a child will be able to compose a fairy tale much easier than just sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper.
How to write a fairy tale?
Remember children's fairy tales. Each of them has a good and an evil hero. Fairy tales show two sides: white and black. Therefore, a fairy tale about a mushroom must contain good and evil. The negative character can be the mushroom itself, or maybe someone who wishes the mushroom of evil.
At the beginning, tell something with a calm storyline. “Once upon a time, I was walking, and one day...” Then change the narrative to something very unexpected, sudden, which will be the beginning of interesting adventures.
If the child does not like adventures, you can make a fairy tale with elements of a detective story or just a story with some kind of moral at the end.
The ending of the fairy tale can be left standard: “...and they began to live well and make good money.” But if you decide to make a fairy tale in a modern way, then do not forget about the victory of good over evil.
Rules for composing a fairy tale
The standard outline for writing a story looks like this:
- The plot: who, where and when lived.
- The main part: something happened that prompted changes in the hero’s life.
- Ending: good triumphs over evil.
In addition, there are some techniques that will help turn an ordinary essay into a fairy tale: exaggeration, triple repetitions, contrasts, decorating definitions. Your mushroom tale doesn't have to be serious. Use various words from fairy tales that you read at night or are still reading to your child. Don’t be afraid of excessive stylization as a fairy tale, because you are writing a real magical story.
Some tips to help you write a fairy tale with your child:
- If you are writing with your child, try to understand that a fairy tale about mushrooms for 1st grade is not always an easy task. The child wants more space, but no one forbids him this. Don't just limit yourself to mushrooms, introduce other characters too. Come up with some interesting facts from the biography, external data and much more for them that do not have to be written down, but that can help the child plunge into the fairy tale himself.
- Don't forget about morality. Every fairy tale has a subtext that is worth thinking about. He should be in your fairy tale too.
- There is no need to write “The Tale of a Mushroom”, try to come up with a title that reflects the essence of your story.
Examples of fairy tales
To write a good fairy tale, we offer you several options for children’s essays:
“There lived two mushrooms in the forest. So people came and picked one mushroom, putting it in a basket. And these mushrooms loved each other. There was no way they could survive the separation. But then luck happened, and people noticed a second mushroom, which was covered with a leaf, and put it in the same basket. They met and were glad to be together again. But they understood that they had been picked to eat. The mushrooms decided to jump out and run away. On the count of three, the lovers jumped out and settled in a new place, next to a stump.”
“Once upon a time there was a little mushroom. One day three ants approached him. They began to laugh at the mushroom. They told him hurtful things, that he couldn’t even go anywhere and make others happy. The fungus felt sad; he couldn’t sleep all night from such resentment. The next day, at exactly 6 o'clock in the morning, the ants got up and began to work. But suddenly the wind began to rage, a thunderstorm began and hail began to fall. The anthill was flooded and destroyed, and the ants began to panic. But the kind mushroom offered his help in time, and everyone hid under his beautiful wavy cap. When the rain stopped, all the ants began to thank the fungus. But the three ants who mocked him were most happy. This is how an ordinary mushroom found new friends!”
“Once upon a time there lived a mushroom in the forest. It was called fly agaric. All people avoided him. One day, early in the morning, a lonely fly agaric woke up and suddenly heard a hunter shooting from a gun in the forest, hunting someone. And then a deer, a doe and a fawn ran past him. The deer were very tired, and the baby deer even wanted to eat. So the little deer came up to the mushroom and began to eat it. Fly Agaric was very surprised, and then completely scared. But not for myself, but for the fawn. He shouted: “Don’t eat me!” The fawn jumped away, but listened to the story of the mushroom. So the fly agaric saved the lives of himself and the fawn and found a new friend.”
These are just examples. Your tale about a mushroom can be large, detailed, with a lot of dialogue and plot sketches.
Story 4. Why are mushrooms needed? Who are mushrooms friends with?
Ask your child who and why mushrooms are useful. Yes. they are useful and necessary for people, animals, birds, and plants that grow next to them in the forest:
— Mushrooms are collected and eaten by people. We salt them, marinate them, cook mushroom soup from them, make mushroom caviar, bake pies with mushrooms and make many other delicious dishes from them.
— Animals also eat mushrooms. They feed on them in the summer and collect them and store them for the winter. Even mushrooms that are poisonous to humans can be beneficial to animals! For example, fly agaric is eaten by squirrels, slugs, and magpies. And a moose can swallow a whole fly agaric, and more than one! This is how he heals himself. For him, fly agaric is medicine.
— And also, mycelium is needed for the life of forest trees, shrubs, herbs and flowers. Mushrooms are true friends of trees! The mycelium grows together with the thin roots of the tree in the ground. As a result, the mushrooms receive the nutrition and beneficial substances they need from the trees, and the trees also receive useful substances from the mushrooms for their nutrition. Thanks to mushrooms, trees better absorb everything useful from their “food” and grow faster. This is how mushrooms and trees help each other throughout their lives! They are best friends and cannot live without each other!
For example, fly agaric helps pine, spruce, birch and other trees grow, and it also decorates the forest!
Mushrooms help process the remains of plants in the forest: they destroy stumps, fallen tree trunks, and fallen branches. These are forest orderlies who clean it.
Story 5. How do new mushrooms appear in the forest?
New mushrooms grow from the mycelium. But mushrooms have another secret to growth. As the mushroom grows, it produces spores.
Controversy- these are very, very small particles like dust - specks of dust. The wind carries them very, very far. There they fall to the ground, germinate and give rise to a new mycelium, and new mushrooms will soon appear from it.
This is how interesting it is said in fairy tale - forest dialogue by Eduard Shim “Mushroom Smoke”:
My fathers, there is a fire!! My fathers, we are burning!.. From somewhere terrible smoke is pouring out!
Vaughn, from mushrooms. That's all.
Ay, that's right! Smoke poured out of the bubble mushrooms! What is going on, my dears?!
Nothing. The moose galloped. I trampled the puffball mushrooms.
Why are they smoking?!
Ugh! Yes because they are ripe! It's not smoke pouring out, it's mushroom spores, mushroom seeds, flying in the wind!
Well, then go away, the smoke is thicker, there will be more mushrooms!
Story 6. How long do mushrooms live?
The life of a mushroom is very, very short! The mushroom is young for five days, on the sixth day the mushroom is usually fully ripe, and on the seventh day it is already... old:(. That’s how short their life is!
To make the child aware of this time period, show him Monday on the calendar. This is the day the mushroom appeared. Remember what you did with your child on Monday. Think about what you did on other days of the week and on Saturday. And at this time the mushroom is already fully ripe - in these few days it has already become quite an adult! Remember what you did on Sunday. How little time has passed! And the mushroom became an old man in just a week!
Story 7. Are there harmful mushrooms?
There are edible mushrooms, and there are poisonous ones. Therefore, in the forest, children must always ask adults if they can pick up a mushroom found in the forest or in the park. If you don’t know the mushroom, then it’s better to leave it in the forest and not take it.
How to tell children about poisonous mushrooms? It is very clearly explained to kids what poisonous mushrooms are and what they are like in the Shishkina School program on the topic “Poisonous Mushrooms.” Watch it with the kids.
Poisonous mushrooms: video for children
In this video, the child will see poisonous mushrooms: he will learn what toadstool, fly agaric, real and false chanterelles are (he will learn how to distinguish an edible chanterelle from a poisonous mushroom), what false mushrooms are and what is their difference from real honey mushrooms. And also learns the rules of the mushroom picker.
Story 8. What are “deciduous mushrooms” and why are they called that?
Why are mushrooms called “deciduous” mushrooms? “Leaf-fallen” - from the word “leaf-fallen”. What is “leaf fall”? Yes, leaves are falling = leaf fall. This means that such mushrooms grow during leaf fall. This happens in October. These are boletuses, aspen mushrooms, saffron milk caps, milk mushrooms, volushki and others.
Discuss with your child where you should look for mushrooms in the fall during leaf fall - in dark, cold forests in the shade or in the sun? Yes, you need to look for them where it’s warm, where the sun is warm. They hide under fallen leaves. You won't find them in a cold forest.
Educational fairy tales and stories about mushrooms for children
We all know that boletus grows under birch trees, and boletus under aspens. And why? From N. Pavlova's fairy tale, children will learn why each mushroom has its own plants - friends and its own “mushroom address” in the forest.
N. Pavlova's fairy tales are amazing. She is a doctor of biological sciences by profession and knows the life of plants and animals very well. And her second profession is a children's writer. Therefore, her fairy tales are interesting, very educational, and beloved by children!
N. Pavlova “Two tales about mushrooms”
A little girl went into the forest to pick mushrooms. I went up to the edge and let's show off:
You, Les, better not hide mushrooms from me! I'll still fill my cart full. I know everything, all your secrets!
Don't boast! - the forest made a noise. - Don't brag! Where is everyone?
“But you’ll see,” the girl said and went to look for mushrooms.
In the fine grass, between the birch trees, boletus mushrooms grew: gray, soft caps, stems with black shag.
In a young aspen grove gathered thick, strong little aspen boletuses in tightly pulled orange caps.
And in the twilight, under the fir trees, among the rotten pine needles, the girl found short saffron milk caps: red, greenish, striped, and in the middle of the cap there was a dimple, as if an animal had pressed it with its paw.
The girl picked up a basket full of mushrooms, and even with the top on! She came out to the edge and said:
Do you see, Les, how many different mushrooms I picked? This means I understand where to look for them. It was not for nothing that she boasted that I knew all your secrets.
Where is everyone? - Les made a noise. - I have more secrets than leaves on the trees. And what do you know? You don’t even know why boletuses grow only under birches, aspen boletuses - under aspens, saffron milk caps - under fir trees and pine trees.
“Here comes the house,” the girl answered. But she said it just like that, out of stubbornness.
“You don’t know this, you don’t know,” Les made a noise, “telling this will be a fairy tale!”
“I know what a fairy tale,” the girl stubbornly said. - Wait a little, I’ll remember it and tell you myself.
She sat on a stump, thought, and then began to tell.
There used to be a time when mushrooms did not stand in one place, but ran throughout the forest, danced, stood upside down, and played mischief. Previously, everyone in the forest knew how to dance. Only Bear couldn't do it. And he was the most important boss.
Once in the forest they celebrated the birthday of a hundred-year-old tree. Everyone danced, and the Bear - the one in charge - sat like a tree stump. He felt offended and decided to learn to dance. He chose a clearing for himself and began to exercise there. But he, of course, did not want to be seen, he was embarrassed, and therefore gave the order:
No one should ever appear in my clearing.
And mushrooms loved this clearing very much. And they did not obey the order. They waylaid him when the Bear lay down to rest, left Toadstool to guard him, and they ran off to the clearing to play.
The bear woke up, saw Toadstool in front of his nose and shouted:
Why are you hanging around here?
And she answers:
All the mushrooms ran away to your clearing, and they left me on guard.
The bear roared, jumped up, slammed Toadstool and rushed into the clearing.
And the mushrooms played magic wand there. They hid somewhere. The mushroom with a red cap hid under the Aspen, the red-haired one hid under the Christmas tree, and the long-legged one with black shags hid under the Birch.
And the Bear will jump out and scream - Roar! Gotcha, mushrooms! Gotcha!
Out of fear, the mushrooms all grew into place.
Here Birch lowered her leaves and covered her fungus with them. The aspen dropped a round leaf directly onto the cap of its mushroom. And the tree scooped up dry needles with its paw towards Ryzhik.
Bear looked for mushrooms, but didn’t find any.
Since then, those mushrooms that were hiding under the trees have been growing, each under their own tree. They remember how it saved him. And now these mushrooms are called Boletus and Boletus. And Ryzhik remained Ryzhik, because he was red. That's the whole fairy tale!
You came up with this! - Les made a noise. - It’s a good fairy tale, but there’s not a bit of truth in it. And listen to my true story.
Once upon a time there were roots of the forest underground. Not alone - they lived in families: Birch - near Birch, Aspen - near Aspen, Spruce - near the Christmas tree.
And lo and behold, out of nowhere, homeless Roots appeared nearby. Marvelous Roots! The thinnest web is thinner. They rummage through rotten leaves and forest waste, and whatever edible they find there, they eat and put aside for storage.
And the Birch Roots stretched out nearby, looking and envying.
We, they say, cannot get anything out of the decay, out of the rot. And Marvelous Roots responded: “You envy us, but they themselves have more good than ours.”
And they guessed right! For nothing that a cobweb is a cobweb. The Birch Roots received great help from their own Birch Leaves. The leaves sent food down the trunk from top to bottom. And what they used to prepare this food from, you have to ask them themselves. Divo-Koreshki is rich in one thing. Birch Roots - to others.
And they decided to be friends.
The Marvelous Roots clung to the Berezovs and entwined them around them. And the Birch Roots do not remain in debt: whatever they get, they share with their comrades.
Since then they have lived inseparably. It’s good for both. Miracle Roots is growing wider and wider, all reserves are being accumulated. And Birch grows and gets stronger.
Summer is in the middle, Birch Roots boast:
Our Birch's earrings are ruffled and the seeds are flying!
And Miracle Roots answer:
That's how! Seeds! So it’s time for us to get down to business.
No sooner said than done: the little nodules jumped up on the Divo-Roots. At first they are small. But how they began to grow! The Birch Roots didn’t even have time to say anything, but they had already broken through the ground. And they turned around in freedom, under Berezka, like young mushrooms. Legs with black shag. The hats are brown. And from under the caps mushroom seeds-spores fall out. The wind mixed them with birch seeds and scattered them throughout the forest.
This is how the mushroom became related to Birch. And since then he has been inseparable from her. For this they call him Boletus.
That's my whole fairy tale! It's about Boletus, but it's also about Ryzhik and Boletus. Only Ryzhik took a fancy to two trees: the Fir-tree and the Pine.
“This is not a funny fairy tale, but a very amazing one,” said the girl. - Just think, some kind of baby fungus - and suddenly it feeds the giant tree!
A. Lopatina's story - for younger schoolchildren. Can mushrooms really be grown in the garden? Should I give up wild mushrooms? Why have many beneficial mushrooms now become harmful? These questions are discussed in the story by the grandfather with his granddaughters.
A. Lopatina. Introduction to mushrooms
At the beginning of July it rained for a whole week. Anyuta and Mashenka became depressed. They missed the forest. Grandmother let them go for a walk in the yard, but as soon as the girls got wet, she immediately called them home.
Porfiry the cat said when the girls called him for a walk:
What's the point of getting wet in the rain? I’d rather sit at home and write a fairy tale.
“I also think that a soft sofa is a more suitable place for cats than damp grass,” Andreika chimed in.
Grandfather, returning from the forest in a wet raincoat, laughing, said:
The July rains nourish the earth and help it grow crops. Don’t worry, we’ll go to the forest to pick mushrooms soon.
Alice, shaking herself so that wet dust flew in all directions, said:
The russula have already started to climb, and in the aspen forest two small boletuses with red caps popped up, but I left them, let them grow up.
Anyuta and Mashenka were looking forward to their grandfather taking them mushroom picking. Especially after he once brought a whole basket of young mushrooms. Taking out the strong mushrooms with gray legs and smooth brown caps from the basket, he said to the girls:
Come on, guess the riddle: In the grove near the birch tree we met namesakes.
“I know,” Anyuta exclaimed, “these are boletus mushrooms, they grow under birch trees, and aspen boletuses grow under aspen trees.” They look like boletus mushrooms, but their caps are red. There are also boletus mushrooms, they grow in forests, and multi-colored russula grow everywhere.
Yes, you know our mushroom literacy! - Grandfather was surprised and, taking out a whole heap of yellow-red lamellar mushrooms from the basket, said:
Since all the mushrooms are familiar to you, help me find the right word: Golden... Very friendly sisters, They wear red berets, They bring autumn to the forest in the summer.
The girls were silent in embarrassment.
This poem is about chanterelles: they grow into a huge family and turn golden in the grass like autumn leaves,” explained the all-knowing Porfiry.
Anyuta said offendedly:
Grandfather, we only studied some mushrooms at school. The teacher told us that many mushrooms are poisonous and should not be eaten. She also said that now even good mushrooms can be poisoned, and it is better not to pick them at all.
The teacher correctly told you that you cannot eat poisonous mushrooms and that now many good mushrooms are becoming harmful to humans. Factories emit all sorts of waste into the atmosphere, so various harmful substances settle in forests, especially near large cities, and mushrooms absorb them. But there are a lot of good mushrooms! You just need to make friends with them, then they themselves will run out to meet you when you come to the forest.
Oh, what a wonderful fungus, strong, plump, in a velvet light brown cap! - Mashenka exclaimed, sticking her nose into the basket.
This, Mashenka, the white one jumped out ahead of time. They usually appear in July. They say about him: A strong little boletus came out, and everyone who sees it will bow down.
Grandfather, why is a boletus called white if it has a brown cap? - Mashenka asked.
Its flesh is white, tasty and fragrant. In boletuses, for example, the flesh turns blue if you cut it, but in white ones the flesh does not darken either when cutting, or when boiling, or when drying. This mushroom has long been considered by people as one of the most nutritious. I have a professor friend who studies mushrooms. So he told me that in boletus mushrooms scientists have found the twenty most important amino acids for humans, as well as many vitamins and minerals. It’s not for nothing that these mushrooms are called forest meat, because they contain even more proteins than meat.
“Grandfather, the teacher told us that in the future people will grow all the mushrooms in their gardens and buy them in the store,” said Anyuta, and Mishenka added:
Mom bought us mushrooms at the store - white champignons and gray oyster mushrooms, very tasty. Oyster mushrooms have caps that look like ears, and they grow together as if they were one mushroom.
Your teacher is right, but only forest mushrooms give people the healing properties of the forest and its best aromas. A person cannot grow many mushrooms in his garden: they cannot live without trees and forests. The mycelium with the trees, like inseparable brothers, intertwined their roots and feed each other. And there aren’t many poisonous mushrooms, people just don’t know much about mushrooms. Every mushroom is useful in some way. However, if you go into the forest, the mushrooms themselves will tell you everything about themselves.
I really love the story “Fly Agaric”. How vividly and expressively this mushroom is described in it: it is compared to a gnome in a red cap and lace pantaloons! And it is said that even a mushroom that is poisonous to humans is useful to the inhabitants of the forest as a medicine!
N. Sladkov fly agaric
The handsome fly agaric looks kinder than Little Red Riding Hood and is more harmless than a ladybug. He also looks like a cheerful gnome in a red beaded cap and lace pantaloons: he’s about to move, bow to the waist and say something good. And in fact, although it is poisonous and inedible, it is not entirely bad: many forest inhabitants even eat it and do not get sick. Moose sometimes chew, magpies peck, even squirrels, which is why they know about mushrooms, and even those sometimes dry fly agaric mushrooms for the winter. In small proportions, fly agaric, like snake venom, does not poison, but heals. And the animals and birds know this. Now you know too. But never - never! - do not try to treat yourself with fly agaric. A fly agaric is still a fly agaric - it can kill you!
After reading the story, look again at the picture of the fly agaric (you will find it in the set of pictures about mushrooms at the link above) and discuss with your child:
- How is a fly agaric similar to a gnome? where is his red riding hood? Why is the cap in the story called “beaded”? (decorated with white beads - show the child large white beads and find the beads on the fly agaric's cap) And where is the fly agaric's white panties - pantaloons with lace?
- How is fly agaric useful?
— is it possible for people to pick fly agaric? Why?
And another story about mushrooms - fly agaric mushrooms by N. Sladkov “Round Dance of Mushrooms”. Read a fragment of the story to your child and discuss with him:
- What do fly agaric mushrooms look like? what does their foot look like? their hat?
- how to “stand with your arms akimbo” (show this pose),
- What are the fly agarics waiting for?
— how do fly agarics dance on their white legs? (come up with several movements together to a dance or round dance melody)
- Do they dance quickly?
- “White legs will flash” - what does this mean? When they say this: “only the heels began to sparkle,” “only the legs began to sparkle”? Has it ever happened to you that you moved so fast that only your legs flashed? When? Share your life stories too.
N. Sladkov. Round dance of mushrooms
The mushroom picker does not take fly agarics, but he is happy with fly agarics: if fly agarics go, so will white ones. And fly agarics are a delight to the eye, even though they are inedible and poisonous. They stand akimbo on white legs, in lace pantaloons, in red clown hats - if you don’t want to, you’ll fall in love with them. And if you come across a fly agaric round dance, it’s time to be dumbfounded: a dozen red fellows stood in a circle and prepared to dance!
Now - one, two! - someone will clap their hands and - three, four! - the round dance will begin! Faster and faster - like a colorful festive carousel. White legs flash and dry leaves rustle. You stand and wait.
And the fly agarics stand and wait. They are waiting for you to finally figure it out and leave. So that you can start your mushroom dance without interference or prying eyes. Stomping the white mushroom legs, waving the red mushroom caps. Just like in the old days..."
In the next fairy tale, kids will get acquainted with an interesting mushroom that grows on stumps and trees - honey fungus.
V. Zotov. Honey fungus Autumn
“Mommy, look, the mushrooms don’t have enough soil,” the Little Fox was surprised. - They even climbed trees!
“You still don’t know much,” the Fox smiled. - Autumn honey fungus often grows on tree trunks. Sometimes in the fall, yellow-brown caps, which are the size of a small saucer, hang in clusters so high that they cannot be reached.
“And that family over there sat right on a rotten stump.” - The kid pointed to a stump near the tree. - Mom, are all these mushrooms edible?
— Of course, Autumn Honey fungus is very tasty. No one passes by him. Everyone puts it in the basket, everyone wants to try this mushroom. And to distinguish it from the poisonous false foam, you need to look at the plates from below. In edible honey mushrooms they are always light - white, cream or yellowish.
Signs and sayings about mushrooms
- Late mushroom - late snow.
- Where one oiler was born, others fled side by side.
- The panicles of oats have ripened - honey mushrooms have grown in the forest.

How to use the materials from this article in classes with children:
Dear site readers! The materials in this article are intended for a whole series of conversations and games about mushrooms. You cannot give your child all the tasks on this page in one day. Take your time, let him play and enjoy learning about the natural world!
It may take you a whole week to remember the names of mushrooms, their characteristics, their “mushroom addresses,” write letters and receive “answers” from mushrooms. This is fine! Go from the interests of the child and his characteristics and preferences.
Remember that the main thing is not the amount of knowledge, but the child’s activity, the development of his ability to answer questions, reason, invent, prove his opinion, compare, and draw independent conclusions.
An example of an individual approach to applying the materials in this article to a family
A 5-year-old child really doesn’t like sculpting or plasticine. But he loves riddles.
What to do: Such a child does not need to make a riddle - a modeling with mushroom caps, given above. We need to do this task differently. Take pictures of mushrooms (you can print them from the “Native Path” website using the link below), cover the stem of the mushroom in the picture with your palm or a sheet of paper. Only the cap will be visible. After that, ask them to guess by the cap what kind of mushroom it is.
It is better if you have separate pictures, since children very quickly remember the location of the pictures in the book and no longer analyze the image, but answer mechanically, from memory. If you constantly change the pictures and their location in this task, then the child will have to think, compare and draw an independent conclusion.
If a child likes to draw, then perhaps he will not want to make a mushroom cap, but draw it. Then, while drawing, we will discuss the size of the hat, and its shape (where it is convex, where it is concave, whether it is smooth or rough, extended upward like a clown’s cap or flat or curved down) and how best to depict it in the drawing, what color it is.
Listen to your heart and watch your baby - children themselves tell us what is interesting to them and what is not yet, and then it is better to hold off on this material for now. And introduce the child to him in a year, when he grows up.
The article provides materials and tasks for children of different ages and different levels of development, so that every parent and teacher can choose what is right for their children/child.

A fairy tale about the city of mushrooms: the fantasies of a little hedgehog
Once upon a time, mushrooms grew separately from each other and were scattered all over the world. But life was very bad for them. There was no one to talk to, no one came to visit them. Mushrooms were very lonely, because flowers and other plants did not accept them into their company. Ants and other insects also avoided them, and mushrooms were generally afraid of forest animals and birds.
And then somehow they came up with the idea of uniting into a single kingdom and living together. Representatives of different types of mushrooms from all over the world went to a meeting in a distant dense forest. There they chose their king and built a palace with a high throne for him. This important position went to the ever-serious porcini mushroom. Having ascended the royal throne, he issued his first decree: “The mushrooms of the whole world should prepare for a big migration. From now on we will all live together, in this dense forest.” 
Not all subordinates were happy with this decision, because many mushrooms loved their native forests and did not want to leave them. An uprising was brewing in the mushroom ranks. But the newly elected king was very smart and inventive. Hearing the dissatisfaction of his subjects, he quickly made some changes to his decree. Now it read: “From now on, mushrooms will become a single kingdom. Our kingdom is the most powerful in the world, so it will be located in the forests of the whole world. In this regard, I order the mushrooms to unite and build cities in every forest.”
This decision was considered very wise by everyone. You don’t have to leave your home, but at the same time, life will become much more interesting, because the mushrooms will no longer be scattered in different parts of the forest, but will build a beautiful fairy-tale city.
From that moment on, in every forest you can find a city of mushrooms. Therefore, if you catch your eye on one mushroom, take a closer look; somewhere nearby there are certainly its brothers.
Buhl read a fairy tale about the city of mushrooms to his friends, and everyone really liked it. The happy hedgehog was getting ready to go to bed after a hard day. He changed his mind about becoming a storyteller, because reading fairy tales is much easier than inventing them. See for yourself.
There are different cities in the world. There is also a city of Mushrooms in the world. You won't find it on a geographical map. But that doesn't mean anything. There is a city of mushrooms! And here is a fairy tale about him.
Fairy tale "City of Mushrooms"
Once upon a time there lived a city. A whole city of Mushrooms - moss mushrooms, honey mushrooms, milk mushrooms, oyster mushrooms. In the city of Mushrooms, as expected, there was the most important mushroom - boletus.
The most exciting inhabitants of the city of Mushrooms were the volushki, the most cunning were the chanterelles, the most oily were the boletus, the reddest were the saffron milk caps.
The boletus lived, as usual, under the birch trees, the aspen boletus lived under the aspens.
Edible, healthy mushrooms felt great in this city. They were very rich. How? Vitamins and other valuable substances.
But in the city of Mushrooms there were also inedible mushrooms - fly agarics, toadstools, silverfish, bitterlings. These mushrooms were also called poisonous.
And then one day the most important mushroom, the boletus mushroom, decided to arrange a competition between edible and inedible mushrooms - who would hide better from the mushroom picker?
Volnushki, honey mushrooms, morels, russula, milk mushrooms are actively getting down to business. They hid under leaves, needles, cones, and snags. The chanterelles hid safely in the moss.
And the poisonous mushrooms that took part in the competition also began to look for hidden places. They searched and searched, and then changed their minds about looking for them. They wanted to get into the mushroom picker's basket. And as soon as the competition started, instead of hiding, they proudly stood at the edge of the forest.
The fly agaric got especially excited, and this made him even redder.
“Take me,” he seemed to shout to the mushroom picker. – After all, I am so beautiful, bright, colorful.
The conditions of the competition were violated by poisonous mushrooms - they did not want to hide. The victory was awarded to edible, healthy mushrooms.
Hooray! We were waiting for this victory! And although it will not be easy for us to find healthy mushrooms, we rejoice in the victory of everything useful, healthy, and good!

Bull the Hedgehog loved adventures. He was attracted by everything interesting and exciting. But one day life seemed a little boring to him, and he decided to come up with a fairy tale about the city of mushrooms.
He really liked the prospect of change, and from the very morning he began to master the profession of a storyteller. But in practice, everything turned out to be not as rosy as dreamed. The hedgehog thought that it was very easy to come up with fairy tales and funny stories: sit and write. But for some reason nothing came to mind.
“We grew up in the forest... Well, it’s kind of boring. They lived and lived... No, how did they live?” - This is how the hedgehog suffered all day. When evening came, sad Bull went out into the street. He felt very bad. This is how the tale about mushrooms would have ended if the hedgehog had not met Inspiration. It whispered only a few words in his ear, but Buhl managed to turn them into a funny story. Let's see what he did? 
A fairy tale about the city of mushrooms: the fantasies of a little hedgehog
Once upon a time, mushrooms grew separately from each other and were scattered all over the world. But life was very bad for them. There was no one to talk to, no one came to visit them. Mushrooms were very lonely, because flowers and other plants did not accept them into their company. Ants and other insects also avoided them, and mushrooms were generally afraid of forest animals and birds.
And then somehow they came up with the idea of uniting into a single kingdom and living together. Representatives of different types of mushrooms from all over the world went to a meeting in a distant dense forest. There they chose their king and built a palace with a high throne for him. This important position went to the ever-serious porcini mushroom. Having ascended the royal throne, he issued his first decree: “The mushrooms of the whole world should prepare for a big migration. From now on we will all live together, in this dense forest.” 
Not all subordinates were happy with this decision, because many mushrooms loved their native forests and did not want to leave them. An uprising was brewing in the mushroom ranks. But the newly elected king was very smart and inventive. Hearing the dissatisfaction of his subjects, he quickly made some changes to his decree. Now it read: “From now on, mushrooms will become a single kingdom. Our kingdom is the most powerful in the world, so it will be located in the forests of the whole world. In this regard, I order the mushrooms to unite and build cities in every forest.”
This decision was considered very wise by everyone. You don’t have to leave your home, but at the same time, life will become much more interesting, because the mushrooms will no longer be scattered in different parts of the forest, but will build a beautiful fairy-tale city.
From that moment on, in every forest you can find a city of mushrooms. Therefore, if you catch your eye on one mushroom, take a closer look; somewhere nearby there are certainly its brothers.
Buhl read a fairy tale about the city of mushrooms to his friends, and everyone really liked it. The happy hedgehog was getting ready to go to bed after a hard day. He changed his mind about becoming a storyteller, because reading fairy tales is much easier than inventing them. See for yourself.

The brother's name was Ivan, and the sister's name was Kosichka. Their mother was angry: she sat them on a bench and told them to be silent. It’s boring to sit, the flies bite or the pigtail plucks - and there’s a fuss, and the mother pulls up her shirt and - a splash.
If only I could go into the forest, even if I walked there on my head, no one would say a word. Ivan and Pigtail thought about this and ran into the dark forest. They run, climb trees, tumble in the grass - such a squeal has never been heard in the forest.
By noon the children had calmed down, were tired, and wanted to eat.
“I wish I could eat,” Pigtail whined.
Ivan began to scratch his stomach.
“We’ll find a mushroom and eat it,” said Ivan. - Let's go, don't whine.
They found a boletus under an oak tree, and just as they were aiming to pick it, Pigtail whispered:
- Or maybe it hurts the mushroom if you eat it?
Ivan began to think. And asks:
- Boletus, and boletus, does it hurt if you are eaten?
- Hurt.
Ivan and Pigtail went under the birch tree, where the boletus grew, and asked him:
- And you, boletus, if you eat, does it hurt?
“It hurts terribly,” the boletus responds.
Ivan da Pigtail asked for a boletus under an aspen, a white mushroom under a pine tree, a camelina in the meadow, a dry milk mushroom and a wet milk mushroom, a blueberry, a skinny honey fungus, an oiler, a chanterelle and a russula.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts,” the mushrooms squeal.
And he even spanked the wet milk mushroom with his lips:
- Why did you come to me, well, yours to the devil...
“Well,” says Ivan, “my stomach gave out.”
And Pigtail let out a roar. Suddenly, from under the rotten leaves, a red mushroom emerges, as if sprinkled with sweet flour - dense, beautiful. Ivan and Kosichka gasped:
- Cute little mushroom, can I eat you?
“You can, kids, you can, with pleasure,” the red mushroom answers them in a pleasant voice, and just like that it climbs into their mouth.
Ivan and Pigtail sat down over him and just opened their mouths, - suddenly, out of nowhere, mushrooms fly in: boletus and boletus, boletus and white boletus, skinny honey fungus and little blue milk mushroom, wet milk mushroom and dry milk mushroom, oiler, chanterelles and russula, and come on pound and pound red mushroom:
“Oh, you poison, Fly Agaric, you’re thinking of poisoning the kids so that you’ll burst, huh?”
Only flour flies from Fly Agaric.
“I wanted to laugh,” yells Fly Agaric, to laugh.
- We'll laugh at you! - the mushrooms scream and they piled up so much that the Amanita was left with a wet spot - it burst. And where it remained wet, even the grass withered from the fly agaric poison.
“Well, now, kids, open your mouths for real,” said the mushrooms.
And every single one of the mushrooms went to Ivan and Pigtail, one after another, jumped into his mouth - and was swallowed.
Ivan and Kosichka ate to their heart's content and immediately fell asleep.
And in the evening the hare came running and took the children home. Mother saw Ivan and Pigtail, was delighted, gave just one spank, and even then lovingly, and gave the hare a cabbage leaf:
- Eat, drummer!
we need to come up with a fairy tale about the city of mushrooms
Answers:
Why do people go to the forest? Of course, for mushrooms. Or you can go for...mushroom stories... Sometimes you come across such delicious ones! Just recently I was walking through the forest... And I came across a mushroom clearing, and not just any ordinary one, but a magical one! In an old fly agaric, under a bright red roof with white speckles, lived a grumpy gnome. It all resembled its own house - just as ancient and hunched over. He even wore a hat similar to that of a fly agaric. A young mother with a newborn baby, or rather a baby mushroom, settled in a recently ripened russula. She rolled him in a stroller, and everyone around her admired how strong and nice he was. In the thick white mushroom there lived a little man - a boletus. He was very hardworking and hard-working. I never sat idle. So they lived together, like neighbors.
Summer has come. It rained frequently, and the mushrooms in the forest raised their caps. When, if not in the summer, can you stand up to your full height! But one small fungus did not want to become big. And he kept hiding his hat. Either the sun is not enough for him, or the breeze is not warm enough, or the rain is light. But then one day... Mushrooms gathered in the clearing. And in the cool of the evening we arranged a holiday for ourselves - the Mushroom Summer Festival. Exciting milk mushrooms, heavy milk mushrooms, red chanterelles, friendly honey mushrooms, smooth boletus came, and even robust boletus came. The mushrooms first stood with their arms akimbo, and then threw their caps into the air and shouted: “Hurray! Summer!” And then our old friend, a small fungus, couldn’t stand it (we’ll tell you a secret that it was a boletus). He also went out into the clearing and threw his little red hat higher than everyone else. That’s right, what better time to rejoice than in the summer (((((I think it helped
