Dye Mushroom Season

Velvet footed pax are out in abundance! I’ve collected a few and dried them for dyeing with later.

2025/9/16 Edited to

Dye mushroom season is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in natural fabric dyeing to explore the vibrant colors and unique properties that mushrooms offer. Velvet footed pax, known scientifically as Paxillus involutus, is a popular choice among natural dyers due to its rich pigmentation and availability during the season. When collecting these mushrooms, it's crucial to ensure they are properly identified since some mushroom species can be toxic. Once harvested, drying the velvet footed pax is an essential step before using them for dyeing. Drying helps preserve the mushrooms and concentrates their color properties, making them more effective in transferring pigment to fabrics. Mushrooms can be dried by spreading them out in a well-ventilated area or using a food dehydrator. Proper drying prevents mold and extends shelf life, allowing for use throughout the year. Using velvet footed pax for dyeing involves simmering the dried mushrooms in water to extract their pigments. This natural dye bath can then be used to soak various textiles such as wool, silk, or cotton. The results typically yield earthy, muted tones ranging from golden yellows to warm browns, depending on the fabric and mordant used. Mordants such as alum or iron can alter the final color, offering versatility in the dyeing process. Embracing dye mushroom season and experimenting with velvet footed pax not only connects dyers with nature but also promotes sustainable and eco-friendly crafting practices. Whether you are an experienced natural dyer or a curious beginner, incorporating these mushrooms into your projects can add a new dimension of creativity and natural beauty to your textiles.
