At the ETSI Agronómica, the agricultural engineering school of the Universidad Politécnica in Ciudad Universitaria, where the society's Monday sessions also meet.

How does the drawing contest work?

It starts at noon on Sunday. Kids see a slide of a mushroom and draw and color it, in groups for ages 3 to 5, 6 to 8 and 9 to 12. It takes about half an hour, and a jury gives a diploma and a toy to the top three in each group.

Can we bring mushrooms we found to identify?

Yes, at the society's Lunes Micológicos: Mondays from 6:30pm to 8pm this fall at the ETSI Agronómica, where members identify what you bring.

About

Each November the Sociedad Micológica de Madrid lays out wild mushrooms its members have gathered, each one labeled edible, toxic or of no interest. It's a hands-off way for kids to learn which mushrooms not to touch on a forest walk. Kids can also enter a drawing contest, sketching a mushroom from a slide while parents look around.
