This particular theme covers everything from lizards to turtles to snakes so everyone in the family can play and learn together.

    I have 11 mushroom gift ideas for the adventurous spirit who is just beginning their journey or the one who is already deep in the woods gathering. Also, I have this Fun Hands-on Free Mushroom Unit Study and Kids Learning Activities.

    Whether mushrooms are a passion that they enjoy hunting and eating or just have a love of mushroom decor and trinkets you will find a wide assortment of ideas to satisfy the fungi or fun girl mycophile.

    Fungi Fun: 11 Unconventional Mushroom Gift Ideas for the Adventurous Spirit

    Webster defines my·​co·​phile ˈmī-kō-ˌfī(-ə)l  as a devotee of mushrooms, especially one whose hobby is hunting wild edible mushrooms.

    However, if you have mycophobes (those who fear mushrooms) on your list you probably better skip these ideas.

    In addition, one or two of these things you may want to add to your own fun mushroom unit study.

    Mushroom Gift Ideas for the Adventurous Spirit

    Now that you have been schooled in the ways of mushroom lovers, here is my list of ideas for those mycophiles in your life to whom you might want to give a little something special for any occasion or none at all, just because they are special to you. 

    Back to the Roots Organic Mini Mushroom Grow Kit

    For a new mushroom enthusiast growing a small batch in the comfort of their own home may be a great way to supplement a growing hobby. They can be grown indoors year-round, and you are ready to start harvesting in just 10 days, not quite but almost instant gratification.

    Mushroom Oven Mitts and Pot Holders 2pcs Set

    These may be a bit whimsical and over the top but a great addition to the kitchen of someone who fawns over shitake or button mushrooms. Practical gifts with a bit of the recipient's personality are fun and useful at the same time.

    Soft Warm Throw Blanket Gift for Home Decor Chair Couch - Mushroom

    I know for me that soft plush blankets are always welcome, a wonderful comforting staple in every home. Finding one themed to someone's passion is a big bonus, there are many options but I liked the neutral look of this one.

    Foraging Kit with Mushroom Foraging Bag

    When gathering Morels,Hen-of-the-woods, and Oyster mushrooms in the woods you need a good-sized breathable bag and a knife. This kit even comes with 15 common mushroom identification cards and even a field journal. This inexpensive kit is a great start for a beginner.

    Beginner's Guide to Safely Foraging for Wild Mushrooms: Identifying and Collecting Mushrooms Sustainably with Confidence

    A foraging pro might already have a collection of reference guides but this would be fantastic for someone who is fairly new to or has not even dug into the world of mushroom gathering yet.

    Vintage Hanging Posters, Decorative Mushroom Wall Art Prints

    I think these vintage linen posters are a fantastic gift that would look amazing in a variety of decor styles. They come ready to hang out of the box with wood-trimmed frames at the top and bottom and a very nice size at nearly 16” x 24.”

    40 Pieces Unfinished Wooden Mushroom

    Your fungi lover also enjoys being a little crafty they might enjoy painting replicas of their favorite varieties. This is a great gift for kids or adults to add their creative twist to creating realistic or fantasy-designed mushrooms.

    Grelim Mushroom Coffee

    Mushroom coffee still tastes very close to traditional coffee with an earthy note, it is made from an equal mix of ground mushrooms and ground coffee bean. But it is supposed to be excellent for anxiety, reducing inflammation, for better sleep, and immunity. Put it with a mushroom cup.

    Mushroom Mug, Cute Coffee Mug with Lid and Spoon

    I had to include a mug to go along with the mushroom coffee, a perfect pairing. The whimsical aesthetic of this cute mug (with a little spoon for stirring) is just too sweet.

    Fungarium: Welcome to the Museum

    Hear me out, this is recommended for grades 3-7 and while it does make a great gift for a homeschooler or any kid that loves mushrooms it is pretty enough to be a fantastic coffee table book for an adult mushroom aficionado. The illustrations in this series are top-notch and contain just enough information to make it a perfect flip-through book.

    Mushroom Glass Cups

    I think this would be perfect for someone you know who is heavily into mushrooms but doesn't now them well enough to know what kind of collection they might already have. They are pretty and inexpensive and can be used to hold not only drinks but layered desserts or used as a vase or pencil holder on the desk. I really like how open-ended they are

    Do you need some great Little House on the Prairie gift ideas for someone who is a big fan of the Ingalls clan? Also, look at my page Little House on The Prairie Unit Study and Fun Punched Tin Lantern for more activities.

    Little House has had what some would call a cult following.

    It made its debut as a book in 1931 and the same for the series that first aired in 1974.

    Some are firmly book fans, some fans of the show and there are those that are in both camps.

    Step Back in Time with These 12 Little House on the Prairie Gift Ideas

    I loved both and enjoyed comparing the differences and seeing what was repeated faithfully in the television series.

    All these years later and they are both still popular, there is not much you can still say about that.

    Even though pioneer life was hard there is an appeal in the simplicity and the hard work families had to put in to survive in those days.

    The love and affection seemed so natural in the Ingalls family. 

    So for your pioneer loving pleasure here are 12 fabulous Little House on The Prairie Gift Ideas for you, the child, or family in your life who just can’t get enough of prairie life from inspired by gifts to toys, cook books, and wearable items.

    Also, you’ll love these other gift guides for homeschoolers.

    The Little House (9 Volumes Set)

    If they don’t already have it the first thing to put on your gift list is the entire The Little House Series. I poured over these stories as a child and even as an adult I will happily pick up a book and read it with just as much joy.  They are a lovely gift for reading aloud or independent reading as well

    Pioneer Girl Costume

    Any little girl that loves to pretend to be Laura and Mary helping ma churn butter or gather vegetables from the garden would adore this Pioneer Girl Costume for dramatic play, theme day at co-op, or field trips to Walmart.

    The Little House Cookbook is filled with recipes for mas cracklings, maple candy, and corn dodgers. Recipes from the whole series with wonderful background information and ideal for elementary aged and on up to adults

    Lincoln Logs 150+ Pieces-Real Wood-Best Retro Building Gift Set

    They may not be specifically little house themed but boys or girls will enjoy recreating the log cabin that the family lived in in the Big Woods or like the one that the Wilders occupied in Mansfield South Dakota. “Toys” like this are great for busy hands while reading aloud.

    Doll Clothes, Little House on The Prairie Blue Calico Dress with Bonnet, Apron, and Pantaloons

    These outfits fit any 18” doll like American girl or even the less expensive Walmart and Target versions. Allowing them to turn their favorite doll into a beloved literary
    character to play alongside of them8

    My Book of Little House Paper Dolls: The Big Woods Collection

    I think this book is perfect for adult fans of the series and especially as a housewarming present for the woman who grew up loving these books. It also makes a fun coffee table book

    Be a Laura | Book Fan Gifts | Prairie Fans | Little House Zip Hoodie

    Little House Hoodie- Something to show off their passion for pioneer days gone by with a modern twist, a cozy hoodie for cool days and nights. Although I am sure Nellie fans may disagree, specially in those later days of the show when she blossomed

    Manual Butter Churner - Wooden Handle

    This is a nostalgic but useful kitchen gift to recreate homemade churned butter with a much smaller footprint. I think this is a new and thoughtful spin on an old-fashioned idea for those who want to simplify but aren't quite ready to give up their electricity.

    The Oregon Trail Card Game

    Chances are good if they are a fan of Little House, they adore the whole idea of heading west and this classic game is a great choice.It gives an idea of what it was like and how hard it is to travel in the settled east out towards the wilds of the mostly unexplored west.

    Sweet Home Alaska

    Finally, this is more of if you liked Little House, you will love… type of recommendation. It is the story of a little girl and her family taking place shortly after Laura Ingalls Wilder's books were published and she treasures these books, especially as her family embarks on an adventure in Alaska to become pioneers as part of President Roosevelt's Palmer Colony project.
