BAMS Monthly Meeting
Try It And See | Film Presentation
1002 Valley Life Sciences Building, UC Berkeley
Thursday, February 20 | 7:30 - 9:30 pm
Are you interested in mushrooms for dying fabric? BAMS is hosting an exclusive presentation of this beautiful film, which showcases the early work of two well known Mendocino mycologists, the pioneering mushroom dyer Miriam Rice, and her watercolor artist partner, Dorothy Beebee, as they explore, document, illustrate and publish groundbreaking information on using mushrooms for dying wool and silk. In this loving tribute produced by her children, Myra and Martin Beebee, Dorothy gives us a behind the scenes look into the discovery of mushroom dyes, the documentation of her work with Miriam in three books, and her thoughts on the future of mushroom dyes.
If you've found mushrooms you'd like to identify, bring those along. Entrance to VLSB is on northwest entrance, under the stairs on the right (see details below). Doors open at 7:30. Meeting starts promptly at 8:00.
