Review Quotes: "Richly illustrated, clearly written, and comprehensive, The Mushroom Color Atlas is a must-have for any dye library. It's more than that, too, and will be of interest to anyone who is curious about the world around them. Beeler has produced a beautiful and engaging resource that's easily devourable cover to cover or that readers can dip in and out of, exploring the world of fungi at their own pace and returning to as they need. It's an exciting addition to the genre, and I look forward to taking it out on a forage this autumn. --Lauren MacDonald, author of In Pursuit of Color Biographical Note: Julie Beeler is an acclaimed designer, artist, and educator inspired by the natural world.

UNIQUE FIELD GUIDE TO MUSHROOMS: This guide will take you on a vibrant journey through identifying and collecting dye mushrooms to distilling an astonishing range of colors from each one. The five hundred color swatches included in these pages showcase an astounding array of natural dyes and pigments made from mushrooms.

Whether you're a working designer or an emerging artist, a full-time forager or an armchair mycologist, you will find something to love in this unique exploration of science and color. GO NATURAL: The rewarding hands-on experience of working with mushroom dyes and pigments is a powerful way to feel intimately connected to nature.
