Mushrooms!

Signed up for a mushroom dyeing class with Alissa Allen of Mycopigments.  Robin and I arrived early and set up our chairs.  Great group of people with some I haven't seen in quite a while.
Unbelievable the colors that mushrooms could provide.
None were poisonous but we used dried mushrooms for the samples and some fresh mushrooms for our yarn.
Robin helped break down some dried mushrooms before we added them to jars of water in the double broiler.
These were the colors from the sample jars.
We got a recipe card as well as a resource list.
