Lyceum students of “TheoBand” study the first mushrooms that appear in spring

Ukrainian forests boast a rich biodiversity, particularly evident in spring when the first mushrooms emerge with the onset of warmer weather. As part of their exploration of nature and its artistic representation, students from the Uzhhorod Private Greek Catholic Lyceum “TheoBand,” under the guidance of their teacher and IRCEF activist Simona Bondarieva, delved into the enchanting world of mushrooms during a themed eco-educational event held this week.

Participants had the opportunity to thoroughly examine the structure and characteristics of various mushrooms through informative reading materials and engaging video clips showcasing their knowledge. A special focus was placed on the symbiotic relationship between fungi and trees, which is crucial for the subterranean forest ecosystem. Ms. Simona also underscored the vital aspects of health and safety related to identifying edible and poisonous mushroom species.

The lyceum students meticulously examined and learned about the primary mushroom varieties and their significance for forest dwellers, and even sketched the mushrooms that left a lasting impression on them during the session. Students solidified their understanding by playing the educational game “Learning about Flora and Fauna through Play” at the end of the event, promoting teamwork and active participation within the group. This event marked a pivotal moment in the student’s comprehension and exploration of nature at “TheoBand”, broadening their understanding of the spring forest and its residents. It underscored the value of collaborative learning and deepening our connection with the natural world.

The event was held within the framework of cooperation between the Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum of Eastern Europe (IRCEF) headed by Olexander Bokotey) and the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU Bundesverband, NABU International), project coordinators Ivan Tymofeiev (NABU), and Nataliya Kulya (IRCEF).
