Enter the MushÂroom ColÂor Atlas, and you can disÂcovÂer the “beauÂtiÂful and subÂtle colÂors derived from dyeÂing with mushÂrooms.” FeaÂturÂing 825 colÂors, each assoÂciÂatÂed with difÂferÂent types of mushÂrooms, the interÂacÂtive atlas lets you appreÂciÂate the broad specÂtrum of colÂors latent in the funÂgi kingÂdom. The shades, tints, and hues will surÂprise you.
Julie BeelÂer, a designÂer livÂing in OreÂgon, first launched the interÂacÂtive MushÂroom ColÂor Atlas back in 2021. Now, she has released a comÂpanÂion book, The MushÂroom ColÂor Atlas: A Guide to Dyes and PigÂments Made from FunÂgi. IllusÂtratÂed by Yuli Gates, the book is “equal parts art book, field guide, and colÂor disÂtilÂlaÂtion workÂshop.” You can order your copy today. The same goes for a MushÂroom ColÂor Atlas poster.
