Fungi can be found almost anywhere. They love to grow in damp and murky laces, and can even be found thriving inside anima's bodies, in contaminated soil or underwater.
In September’s ‘Funky Fungi’ issue, we asked our young readers to draw their favourite fungus in a most unusual place. Thank you to everyone who sent us their entries. We received lots of super-fun and imaginative drawings.

You've been designing brilliant new contenders for the Astonishing Amazon Animal Showdown – piranhas with jaws that regrow in whole quarters, a hoatzin that ferments its dinner in a throat pouch, a tailless whip scorpion that senses danger through its legs, and a jaguar with one of the most powerful bites of any mammal. Thank you to every reader who did the research and made the case for their champion.
This competition asked you to design a secret egg hidden somewhere in nature, and your entries went far beyond the obvious nests and burrows. Eggs arrived disguised as pine cones, floating on leaf boats, perched on volcano ledges, tucked into cloud cover and even masquerading as chocolate Easter eggs to fool foxes. Thank you to every reader who took up the challenge and thought like a parent bird, fish, reptile or imaginary creature trying to keep their precious egg safe.
