Making ink from inkcap Fungies

avatar

This is my entry for the fungifriady contest by @ewkaw.

I'm again here but after two weeks last friday I was on a busy trip that's why didn't able to make a post here. A few days ago I'm back home and did an exploration at the same spot where last time I found them (Inklets) if you read my last post about mushrooms in which I explained about these that they produce inky stuff when they are about to die or withering and I promised that I'll surely try them whenever I found them next time and luckily exploring at the same spot each day I found many of those growing I was very glad to see see them again.

Today I will explain the whole process from harvesting till using the ink made by these natural stuff as well as I've uploaded new collection of images of these species I hope you would like it.
Now let me explain the process.

procedure

It don't take a lot of time and efferrt the only thing you will need to make this ink is solely some inkcap fungi and the tools are already available in your home below are the steps yo make it.

  • Find inkcap fungus ( usually they grow on animal dung or manure ) you will found them easily near the habitat of cattle.
  • Harvest them only once they start wither and the cap start turning black .


Look a beautiful hare's cap fingus lying down in the morning dew drops ready to be harvested probably second day of growth

  • Pick the tops of fungi blend them and place in a tight container for 24 hours.
  • The ink is ready just use it as normal ink colour it might be of a different shade but don't forget to check it before applying.
    I didn't able to capture the whole process in images as my whole focus was on mking the video.
    Here is yhe only image I captured of the final teated some calligraphy and a mushroom image from the ink.

Collection

As I said besides making ink I have captured a lot of photos of these fungi The are not from the same day some of those ate 2-3 days old have a loook at them

These last three Fungies I captured them today as yesterday it was a mild rain which allow flourishing these things. All credit goes to my morning walk by which it make possible to capture these notable livings as well as I as a bit sad that till now I haven't find any new kind of mushroom O hope it will be possible in nera future.

Wow you're interests and skills are amazing. I also love mushrooms( in eating too🙃) but I wanna see the ones with red caps. I guess they are poisonous but they're beautiful.
Keep shining 🌟✨

Sure we can grow just we need the spores of the selected fungus and growing conditions like moisture,darkness and and appropriate temperature.
That's why any kind of fungi they grow only in nights .

And how do we get spores? From the mushroom hunts, on our own or we can buy them?

They are for sold but in our country I don't think it will be easy to find them and if you found they are usually edible spores.
I have not much deeper knowledge that how can we get them on their own. Those who are for sold they are harvested or collected by professionals and also they are quite expensive.

Oh okay. I used to roam about my village a lot and finding mushrooms was like getting treasure🙃.
So wanted to grow them, but anyway, will try to find some in my university ☺️, it's rich with wild life😅.
Thank you for your time 😊✨

Probably you should do some research of you are eager to grow them on your own as far I know they grow on their ancestors deceased spores like where once their parents were standing their spores remain in the same soil and when appropriate conditions come they sprout and so on.

Believe me I was not aware that we can make ink with the mushrooms. But from your blog I got to know that we can make ink with mushrooms. I cannot describe in words that your blog is really interesting.
