Mushrooms offer a vibrant world of natural pigments waiting to be uncovered and transformed into dyes, inks, and paints. Join me for a visually rich presentation exploring how mushroom pigments are studied, extracted, and creatively used—and roll up your sleeves to swatch these colors yourself, experiencing the magic of fungi in full color.
I will share stories from field research, science, and hands-on experimentation to reveal how these remarkable hues emerge from the fungal world. You'll learn how mushroom colorants have been used and reimagined, discover the surprises (and challenges) of working with them, and gain fresh inspiration for sustainable, nature-based creative practices.
