    Great fun! I used to dye wool with lichen found on granite rocks and got gorgeous shades of purple.

      These folks showed me some purple wool they dyed using lichen, and they had the lichen samples also.

    Intriguing find. Mushrooms and lichens seem like a surprising combination for dye.
