A quaint idea I had
    #5562401 - 04/27/06 11:00 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

So I was thinking...wouldn't it be neat to have different colored mushrooms? (Green, blue, purple, red, orange, etc)

I think this would be real easy to accomplish, just dry your mushies real good, then prepare a bowl full of water with the desired color mixture of food coloring in it. then just dunk your mushrooms and let them bloat up and re-dry them. What do you guys think? It's a bit late for it but you could have dyed easter mushrooms!

Can't see were it would hurt anything.Others have talked about this but as far as I know no one has done any experimenting. Hope you do and let us know the results. GL

dont dry your mushies real good and re-hydrate.  you'll end up with a gooey unpotent mess.  psilo* is WATER SOLUBLE.  think mushroom tea.  (unless you plan on drinking the left over food coloring water! :smile:)

dry them for a few hours under a fan so they dry a little, dunk in your colored water for as short a time as possible to pick up the color, then continue on to cracker dry as per usual... completely drying/rehydrating/re-drying isn't a great idea unless your goal is to ruin your mushrooms. :smile:

No, adding food coloring to your substrate/water will not affect the color of the mushies. This has been asked/tested many times over. Please check out the "Related Threads" at the bottom of this page, or here's a few links:http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/2934811#Post2934811
