Add a curve to the bottom, and then add a bumpy line below this.

Bring a curve across to the left, up at an angle, and then across. Add a “bump”, then bring the line down and add a smaller “bump”, and connect this to the right of the original shape.
7.
Add a curved line across the center of this…

And add a leaf outline around this.
15.
Add a small circle above the leaf, and then a small star above this.

Use a red pen to shade the top of the mushroom.

Use a brown pen for the left eye, and the inside of the leaves.
18.
Use a yellow pen for the left star, those on the top right, and the bottom left.

Use a brown pencil for the larger leaf.
20.
And then use a brown pen for the right eye and the curved mouth.
