The 2nd edition of the innovative book written by Miriam C. Rice explores the use of fungi
for dyes on wool, silk, mohair, and cotton, published by Mad River Press, 1980. It
includes an illustrated identification section many of these dye fungi, with
b&w drawings by Dorothy Beebee. Color photographs of dye color
charts, and a discussion on the chemistry of fungal pigments by Dr. Erik Sundstrom
encourage and invite all to continue with the experiments and excitement of mushroom dyes
for the next 30 years! Miriams work has been widely referenced by
mycologists in recent years and continues to be the original definitive work on mushroom
dyes.
