P. arrhizus is counted among the best mushrooms for dyeing and imparts wool with a deep brown to reddish-brown to blackish color. The pigments come from the tar-like gel between the peridioles, so younger Dyeballs work better. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago Nice, thank you! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sal@mander.xyz 1 point 1 year ago This may also be of interest to you, even though they do not use this specific mushroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4TjnxFO3yw permalink fedilink source parent
