This collection has 22 free mushroom coloring pages: 13 realistic mushroom clusters in grass or forest settings, 6 fantasy scenes with a fairy, mouse, or insect friend sitting on the mushroom, and 3 ornate zentangle-style pages with dense swirl patterns. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
The 3 zentangle pages stand well apart from the rest of the set — one turns a mushroom cap into a swirling spiral pattern with a snail perched on top, and another wraps a cluster in an intricate floral border, closer to an adult coloring book page than the simple nature scenes that make up most of the collection.
What’s in this collection
13 realistic mushroom clusters, 6 fantasy character scenes, and 3 ornate zentangle pages — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Realistic mushroom clusters
13 pages show mushrooms growing in grass or forest settings, sometimes alongside a butterfly, ladybug, or a simple rainbow, but without any fairy-tale characters. These are the plainest pages in the set — good for a first attempt at shading a spotted mushroom cap.
Fantasy character scenes
6 pages add a small character to the mushroom — a fairy perched on top, a mouse resting against a dandelion, an insect in the rain, or a smiling face drawn right onto the cap. These pages have more going on than the plain clusters, since you’re coloring a character as well as the mushroom.
Ornate zentangle patterns
3 pages trade the nature-scene approach for dense, hand-drawn swirl and spiral patterns filling the entire mushroom cap and stem. These take noticeably longer to finish than the rest of the set and suit an older colorist more than a young child.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. The zentangle pages have the finest linework in the set, so print those at your printer’s highest quality setting to keep the pattern from blurring together.
