Cards are held with the pictures facing towards the other players. Up to 6 students may play, holding the cards so that the printed information on the back is towards them. If they guess correctly, they get to take the card. If two mushroom cards of the same genus are held, these are a pair and can be retired from the game. This game is best played towards the end of the program, when the students are familiar with the names of fungi and their features.
Students walk around until they guess their fungus, then turn in the card to the teacher.
This game may be played with either the photo or the written side showing, and the 2 versions of the game are quite different.
