Mushroom dye

Add article description

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.[2] The fruiting body of Hydnellum peckii can be used to produce a beige color when no mordant is used, and shades of blue or green depending on the mordant added.[3] Phaeolus schweinitzii produces green, yellow, gold, or brown colors, depending on the material dyed and the mordant used.[4]
