Last week we took our morning walk to the park and discovered a surprise at the park. On the ground were various patches of fungus/mold. Of course the first thing the girls said was "gross!" But, after that, they asked what is that? I told them mold. And, instead of asking "what is mold?" K asked "where does mold come from?"
So, I asked the girls where do you think mold comes from?
K: From a dead tree that is rotten. (smart girl)
L: From a duck's poop. (very funny, but also very insightful!)
So, this week we are working out our answers to that question. "Where does mold come from?"
But before we could figure out where mold comes from we first asked the question: "what is mold"?
Looking in the Webster dictionary we find:
Mold: a superficial often woolly growth produced esp. on damp or decaying organic matter or on living organisms; a fungus
Here are our pictures from the park:
