Hongueando con los amigos del norte

Hanging out with friends from the north

All the experiments I have done with mushrooms have led me to share my research and experience with pigments and textiles with various Mycological Societies in the United States, as well as with Botanical Colors, the best and most extensive reference on natural dyeing.

If you want to watch the videos and get into the gossip, either to learn or to see how my tongue gets tied when I roll my R's, click here:

I gave a very intense talk on the chemistry behind fungal pigments to the Humboldt Bay Mycological Society in California, but they haven't posted the video yet, so when they do I'll share the gossip with you.

Pigment extracted from the Hypoxylon fungus, in the talks I talk about the fungi of the Hypoxylon genus and their incredible variety of pigments, as well as their biosynthesis mechanism.
