Competition Winners: Fungi in an Unusual Place

Fungi can be found almost anywhere. They love to grow in damp and murky laces, and can even be found thriving inside anima's bodies, in contaminated soil or underwater. 

In September’s ‘Funky Fungi’ issue, we asked our young readers to draw their favourite fungus in a most unusual place. Thank you to everyone who sent us their entries. We received lots of super-fun and imaginative drawings. 

Congratulations to our winners!
