See how you can tweak your dye processes to ensure you get the brightest, truest reds with this amazing fungi. Collectively called the "red Corts", these mushrooms are able to produce a range of warm tones - from deep oranges through to cold dark reds. Whether you're ecoprinting fabric, or looking for ways to make colours from sustainable ecological sources, this builds on a previous video on dyeing with Cortinarius smithii.

Lobonema smithii, today’s jelly, is commonly known as the white jellyfish - a name that the photos of the day perhaps do not make very obvious…
