How to draw a mushroom
A spotty mushroom, with a little friend. Get a pencil and paper, and tap Next for each line.
Step 1 of 6. Draw a big dome for the mushroom's cap.
All 6 steps
Here is every step at once. The blue lines are the new ones; the dark lines are already on your paper. Draw lightly at first, so you can rub out a line you don’t like.
1. Draw a big dome for the mushroom's cap.
2. Draw a fat stem under the cap.
3. Put round spots on the cap.
4. Give the stem two dot eyes and a smile.
5. Draw grass along the ground.
6. Draw a tiny mushroom friend next to it.
A tip for drawing a mushroom
The bottom of the cap curves down a little in the middle, like a smile turned over, and the stem starts under it, not at the edge. Make the stem fatter at the bottom so it stands up. Spots are circles of different sizes, and some can hang off the edge.
Change it up
Once your mushroom is down, make it yours:
- Make it a house with a door and a window.
- Add a snail or a ladybug.
- Draw a whole ring of mushrooms.

How it was made: Peabody drew this mushroom in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
