MAKING MUSHROOM PAPER AND INK

Figure 2 Birch polypores – ‘you’re going to need a stick!’

PAPER

Find some birch polypores (Piptoporus betulinus) that are white on the underside and flexible. They can be moist or dry but not dried out. Or you can use old (no longer tender) Dryad’s Saddle fungus (Polyporus squamosus), even large, maggot-eaten ones.

Get enough to experiment with. The contents of a medium basket will make about 15–20 8½ × 11-inch sheets of paper.

Remove the dirty bit where they were attached to the tree and chop the fungi into small pieces. Liquidize with water or natural plant dye (berries, leaves or roots) to the consistency of runny wallpaper paste and pour it into a tray.
