Mushroom Paper
After extracting the pigment from a burbling pot of mushrooms, Miriam experimented with using the remaining pulp to form sheets of paper and other shapes.
In 1993 she made the short video, Mushrooms for Paper: Papermaking with Polypores, a step-by-step guide through how to make paper with mushrooms, which is available here.
More information on this process is included in the book, Mushrooms for Dyes, Paper, Pigments & Myco-Stix by Miriam C. Rice.
