A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. [1]
The color of the powdery print, called a spore print, is useful in both classifying and identifying mushrooms. Spore print colors include white (most common), brown, black, purple-brown, pink, yellow, and creamy, but almost never blue, green, or red. [7] Morphological characteristics of the caps of mushrooms
Yarn colored using mushroom dye Mushrooms can be used to create color dyes via color-extraction with a solvent (often ammonia ) as well as particulation of raw material. [ 1 ] The shingled hedgehog mushroom and related species contain blue-green pigments, which are used for dyeing wool in Norway. [ 2 ]

Russula is a very large genus composed of around 750 worldwide species of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. They are typically common, fairly large, and brightly colored – making them one of the most recognizable genera among mycologists and mushroom collectors.
The pink oyster mushroom has a pink color, though there are also white forms. [2] It has a fan-shaped, broadly convex to plane cap which is 2– 5 cm broad and 3-7 cm long, with an inrolled margin. [3]
