About Dye Mushrooms
Mushroom colours are especially prized, not only for the richness of their hues, but because of their limited availability. And here's a fascinating aspect of mushroom dyeing: combine any number of colours chosen at random, and they'll always look good together.
Most wild mushrooms, when put in the dyepot, will give a nice mushroom tan, if anything. Only certain mushrooms contain usable pigment, and in most cases, they can be processed directly after picking, usually by simmering gently in plain water.
2011 Mushroom Festival
The Sunshine Coast Society for the Hunting, Recognition and Observation of Mushrooms (SHROOM) is organizing the third annual Sunshine Coast Mushroom Festival, to be held October 15 and 16, 2011, in Madeira Park.
The day will feature Larry Evans, well-known mycologist from Montana, as well as mushroom displays, cooking demonstrations, vendors of local produce, and more.
B&B Workshop
We offer hands-on lessons in mushroom papermaking as part of a weekend B&B package special. Hike in the forest behind Bluff Hollow to look for the mushrooms, then spend a few hours processing them to make into your own special creation!
