Mushroom Color Atlas: A Guide to Dyes and Pigments Made from Fungi

By Julie Beeler

Fungi, more closely related to humans than plants, are a rich resource for color collectors. In The Mushroom Color Atlas, artist and educator Julie Beeler blends scientific detail, botanical illustrations, and creative inspiration to introduce various dye mushrooms and her color-harvesting process. She offers tips on foraging and color distillation, shares a rainbow of color samples, and provides down-to-earth advice on artistic experimentation. This unique field guide showcases an array of natural dyes and pigments with 500 color swatches, making it perfect for designers, artists, foragers, and mycologists.
