SYMPOSIUM WORKSHOPS A variety of mushroom dyeing classes using Australian species, for both beginning and advanced dyers, produced a wonderful range of color. We made lovely pieces of mushroom paper using Australian polypores, explored tapestry weaving, heliographs, Bush jewelry, double sided knitting, and illustrating fungi with methods of documentation and record keeping. There was also a workshop for making and using "Myco-Stix" © on paper, silk and other fibers. One class explored the function of the pH factor in the chemistry of dyeing, while another demonstrated the extraction of blue dyes from the lichen Xanthoria parietina. |
| The creative work has evolved so much further than Miriam Rice could have ever dreamed, 30 years ago with the advent of her little introductory book about mushroom dyes!!! |

The next event, the 12th International Fungi and Fibre Symposium will be hosted by the country of Denmark in 2005! |
