Enter the Mushroom Color Atlas, and you can discover the “beautiful and subtle colors derived from dyeing with mushrooms.” Featuring 825 colors, each associated with different types of mushrooms, the interactive atlas lets you appreciate the broad spectrum of colors latent in the fungi kingdom. The shades, tints, and hues will surprise you.


Julie Beeler, a designer living in Oregon, first launched the interactive Mushroom Color Atlas back in 2021. Now, she has released a co*panion book, The Mushroom Color Atlas: A Guide to Dyes and Pigments Made from Fungi. Illustrated by Yuli Gates, the book is “equal parts art book, field guide, and color distillation workshop.” You can order your copy today. The same goes for a Mushroom Color Atlas poster.
