Web tips: The colors of mushrooms
Mushroom color atlas shows the versatility of mushrooms for dyeing. It contains over 300 shades, filterable by mushroom type, material and carrier substance.
An unusual mushroom atlas: help with identification, edibility or toxicity play no role on Julie Beeler's website. It's all about the colors that can be produced when dyeing with mushrooms. That doesn't sound very spectacular at first. However, the Mushroom Color Atlas website implements it impressively: It presents a grid with 300 boxes that reflect the color spectrum in which you can dye with mushrooms. These boxes can be filtered according to the mushrooms that have been used, the fabric materials dyed with them - wool, silk and linen - and the carrier substances with which Beeler has produced color pigments. Anyone interested in dyeing with mushrooms will learn many details about the various processes. But you can also simply enjoy the colors.
