Thanks to Leena, who sent me some of this mushroom dried & ready for dyeing, I've been able to experience the delights of fungi dyeing for the first time, apart from some very primitive efforts many years ago. This photo shows the results of my experiments. The skeins on the right were mordanted with alum & those on the left were unmordanted.
Yarn colored using mushroom dye Mushrooms can be used to create color dyes via color-extraction with a solvent (often ammonia) as well as particulation of raw material. [1] The shingled hedgehog mushroom and related species contain blue-green pigments, which are used for dyeing wool in Norway.

Mycopigments Exploring regional mushroom and lichen dye palettes Welcome to the world of Mycopigments Mycopigments is a term I coined when I started dyeing with mushrooms back in 1998.

There's an alchemy to these dyes," Beeler writes, "a delicate interplay between soil, moisture, and mushroom that yields colours as complex and layered as any artist's pigment." Rather than simply offering a manual on dye-making, Beeler treats readers to a dazzling array of colours hidden within common and rare fungi alike. In this dynamic ATLAS, colors can be filtered by mushroom type, dyes or pigments, or by the fabrics and mordants used. All dye mushrooms in the atlas are searchable in the INDEX.
