CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF SUNSHINE COAST MUSHROOMS. Laquo; Frozen . . . the Mushroom. Maiwa Textile Symposium, 2015. February 28, 2015. My dear friend and wonderfully creative fibre artist behind the Ruby Slippers. Blog has made some beautiful fabric pieces by eco-dyeing rolling flowers and leaves into little bundles, then steaming them. She has to leave these bundles alone for several weeks to ensure that the colours are imprinted, and when she can finally open them, the results are marvelous. And putti...

CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF SUNSHINE COAST MUSHROOMS. Laquo; And some lovely greens. This year’s dyepot is finally exhausted. November 25, 2009. This little fungus caused a fair bit of consternation when I was trying to identify it. It’s soft and bright yellow when young, then as it dries, it hardens and turns bright orange. I had it pegged as. Pycnoporellus fulgens . . . It doesn’t give a strong colour, but the soft peachy hues will act as a lovely neutral with the stronger mushroom colours. You are comme...

Magic in the Dyepot. All posts by Shroomworks. I must find this mushroom! March 12, 2017. Glorious purple from Hapalopilus rutilans.

Has been found in northern British Columbia, so I think a trip to the birch forests of the Caribo...

Magic in the Dyepot. Tapinella atrotomentosa (Velvet Pax). Now this is strange . . . July 1, 2016. Thanks to an abundance of spring rains, we’re seeing mushrooms a few weeks earlier than usual this year we can only hope this bodes well for an exceptional season later in the year! Much to my dismay, my little strips of Velvet Pax looked over-dark the next morning; not exactly burned, but darker than I’d expected. What had I done? Pot allowed to overheat. This year, I may just have to. 4 thoughts on &ldquo...
