Caps from one shape, continued

A mushroom shaded under its cap, with an oval shadow Hatch the underside of the cap and the top of the stalk. Lay a flat oval of shadow on the ground to one side.
A mushroom tipped toward you, gills under an oval cap Draw the cap as an oval. Below its near edge, a crescent of gills, and the stalk coming out of that.
A mushroom with a dented cap holding one raindrop Dip the top of the dome in the middle. Sit a small drop in the dip and let a second one fall from the rim.
A mushroom with a skirt ring round its stalk Draw the cap and stalk. A third of the way down the stalk, add a small frill that droops like a collar.
A mushroom with an upturned cap like a blown-out umbrella Curve the cap up at the rim so it makes a shallow bowl. The gills show as lines fanning up the outside.
A one-line mushroom: up the stalk, over the cap and down Start at the foot, climb one side of the stalk, loop out over the cap and come back down the other side.
A tall mushroom, a thimble of a cap on a long bent stalk Make the stalk five times the height of the cap and bend it near the top. The cap sits there like a thimble.

Patterns and close-ups 15

A cap border: a dome above the rule, a dome below, repeat Unit: one dome above the line and one below it, sharing a stalk drawn across the line. Repeat to the edge.
A cap divided into bands of dots, stripes and scales Draw a large dome. Split it into three curved bands and fill each with one small repeating mark.
A cap dropping a fine rain of dots Under the cap, on each side of the stalk, let small dots fall in loose columns that thin out lower down.
A cap from above: a circle with a dark middle and spots Draw a circle. Shade a small patch at its center, scatter pale ovals round it and tick fine lines at the rim.
A cap patterned like cracked glaze, plates with dark gaps Break the surface of the dome into small uneven plates. Ink the gaps between them and leave the plates bare.
A cap rim close up, curling over the first gills Draw the edge of the cap as a thick rolled lip. Under it, the gills start as short parallel lines.
A cap so close it fills the page, spots like islands Draw only one long curve across the sheet for the cap's edge. Above it, large pale ovals, some cut by the page.
A cap striped from peak to rim like a circus tent Draw a bell cap. Rule curved lines from the peak down to the rim and fill every second stripe.

Gills that fork toward the rim to keep the lines close Draw the gills from stalk to rim. Halfway out, split every second one in two so the gaps never widen.
The underside of a cap: gills fanning from the stalk Draw the cap from below as a half circle. Rule lines from where the stalk joins out to the rim, like a fan.

How this list was compiled: Original list written for Draw This Next on 2026-10-02: 60 invented mushroom doodles in four kinds (caps from one shape, clusters and rings, houses and characters, patterns and close-ups), each marked easy, medium or hard, with the shapes it is built from and the first strokes to draw. Kept apart from mushroom-drawing-ideas, which draws named species with the feature to get right; this list names no species. No item repeats a title from any other list on the site. Two details of a mushroom were read on Wikipedia on 2026-10-02 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom): the gills under the cap and the ring some mushrooms keep round the stalk. Nothing here helps to identify a mushroom. Licence: own work

How it works

A mushroom doodle is a cap on a stalk: a dome, a bell, a plate or a cone. Each of the 60 here is invented, names its shapes and gives the first strokes.

Read the full guide

One cap shape at a time

Change the cap and the mushroom changes: a dome on a stalk that widens at the foot, a bell cap on a slim wavy stalk, a flat cap like a plate on a post.

Then the underside

Gills are lines that fan from the stalk to the rim. Some mushrooms keep a ring round the stalk, drawn as a small drooping frill. Patterns and close-ups has both.

Curve the spots with the cap and cut some off at the rim.
Draw a cluster from the front mushroom back, so each stalk overlaps the one behind.

Questions and answers

What is the simplest mushroom doodle?

Draw a half circle with a flat underside. Below it, add a stalk that swells toward the ground like a small bottle. That is the first doodle on the list.

What are some cute mushroom doodles?

Houses and characters holds 15, such as A shy mushroom, its cap pulled low over two eyes, A frog sitting out the rain under a wide cap and A walking mushroom on two short legs in round boots.

How is this different from the mushroom drawing ideas?

That list draws named species with the feature to get right. These are invented and name no species, so they cannot help to identify a real mushroom.
