I just returned from a week of mushroom foraging in the Sierra Nortes of Oaxaca, Mexico, and created this color palette from our finds during a community demonstration in the mountain town of El Carrizal.

Here are the mushrooms from the top:
- Ompholotus mexicana (alum mordant)
- Phaeollus schweinitzii (alum/ iron mordant)
- Usnea (no mordant)
- Boletus reticulatus/ porcini (alum/ iron mordant)
- Gymnopilus (alum mordant)
- Hypholoma fasculare (alum/ iron mordant)
