Description

"A unique how-to reference, this book includes some of the most common and best color-producing dye mushrooms of North America and step-by-step instructions to the process, from collecting the mushrooms to dyeing the wool. Accurate, up-to-date descriptions for each species, along with over 200 color photographs complete the guide." "Arleen Rainis Bessette and mycologist Alan E. Bessette provide information about dyeing equipment, mordants, preparing and dyeing the wool, and the dazzling array of colors that can be obtained from mushrooms. Written in easy-to-follow, nontechnical language, this is a comprehensive field guide resource that contains detailed species descriptions emphasizing macroscopic features, a balanced representation of eastern and western species, as well as a number of new dye mushrooms not featured anywhere else."--Jacket.
