Dyeing with Fungi In 1989 I discovered mushrooms dyes. Some fungi give an incredible range of colours including purples ,reds,oranges,yellows and all the shades in between. In Scotland we have very limited supplies but this makes the finding of the mushrooms all the more special !! The image shows c.semi sanguineous which gives red/oranges. My adventure with fungi has taken to International Fungi & Fibre Symposiums held in Europe,USA and Australia. In 2010 I attended the Swedish Symposium and worked with a mushroom called Sarcadon Squamous which gives blue dyes. The next Symposium is in Spain 2012

At the end of the session any dye residue is available for pot luck dyeing. Subject to fungi supplies three species are used. For more information contact Trisha
