Have begun dyeing with the shrooms and still experimenting constantly...top photo left to right are...homespun dyed with aurantiacum, two pinks frm ochrolechia laevigata, tree barnacles, and two paxillus astrotomentosus......loving th combination, looks like a lap blanket weaving in my future....the lower photo, phaeolus, two carrot top, one hypomyces lactifluorum alum mordant, one iron mordant carrot top, two more hypomyces one iron  mordant, one alum mordant.
Love those parrot tops, they are such a fresh greenish yellow.....all f these colours are so interweavable

Your natural mushroom colors are amazing! I’d love to learn from/with you. I’ve had good success getting purple using malabar spinach seeds I grow and harvest. Did you make felted giant kelp? That is what I was searching for when I found your blog. Feel free to reach out to me at steelepictures.com 🥰
