If you've ever sat on the forest floor marveling at a beautiful red or purple mushroom, this episode is for you! My guest and fellow biomimic Ximena Curiel will dive deep into what mushrooms are, why they are different colors, what the purposes of these colors are in nature, and explain how we can use these pigments in sustainable dyeing, artwork, and clothing. It's a fun journey of discovery, wonder, and awe that will have you gathering your foraging books and calling your friends to go look for some of these incredible organisms near you.
