Introduction


The aim of this blog will be later on to show around the endless possibilities hidden in the kingdom of fungi, let it be traditional applications like cultivation of gourmet or medicinal mushroom, or more unusual ones, like using mushrooms for their coloring or fibre properties, etc.

Right now I merely story about my home made attempts and experiments in the fields of cultivation, dyeing, ink, paper, decoration and packaging making, etc :)

Hat from Boletus-dyed wool

In an earlier post I have shown results of a dyeing session with dried Boletus edulis and made the promise to show also the hat being made from them. So here it is! :)

A lovely Australian colleague living here in Europe offered her help with the knitting and by using the alum (second from the left) and the 2nd iron/copper (on the right) mordanted skeins, she prepared a nice hat, in oldies style. I simply love it!
