Here are three one-line mushroom riddles for a 7-year-old:

1. I wear a round hat and stand on a little stem, I often pop up after rain — what am I?

3. I have a cap like an umbrella and gills underneath, you might find me in the forest — what am I?

Answers and simple clues:

1. Answer: Mushroom. Clue explained: the "round hat" is the cap, the "little stem" is the stalk, and mushrooms often appear after rain.
