Timeline
In 1976, as a result of her work, the Mendocino County Museum held the first-ever exhibition devoted to fiber art dyed with mushrooms. In 1980, Rice led the founding of the International Mushroom Dye Institute to encourage the use and further development of mushroom dyes. Around the same time, she also helped inspire formation of the International Fibre & Fungi Symposia, biannual meetings that convene artists and scientists from around the world to share their research.
Historical sources show that mushroom-derived dyes were used in the Americas and Europe at least as far back as the 15th century, though such uses appear to have been uncommon. World War II prompted some further experiments, but when Rice began her research, the contemporary literature had very little information on the subject and no practical guidance. Rice wrote the first modern book on the subject, Let's Try Mushrooms for Color, which came out in 1974 and was an international success. Rice's second book, Mushrooms for Color (1980), included a much-expanded range of pigments developed in the intervening years, a whole color wheel, including greens, reds, blues, and violets. Other researchers, principally from America and the Nordic countries, have built on her initial research to further develop this range of color.
In the late 1960s, Rice began working with natural dyes for her block prints and this led her to experiment with mushrooms. The first mushroom she worked with was Hypholoma fasciculare, which produced a bright yellow dye. Her further experiments led her to mushrooms like the puffball Pisolithus arhizus (yellow, brown, and black hues) and the polypore Phaeolus schweinitzii (green, yellow, and brown hues). Although Rice herself preferred to use scientific names when referring to mushrooms to avoid confusion, both of these mushrooms have acquired new common names thanks to her work. P. tinctorius is now known as dyer's puffball, while P. schweinitzii is dyer's polypore. Over time, she uncovered a wide palette of mushroom dyes that were both colorfast and lightfast, and she is now acknowledged as a pioneer of modern research into the use of mushrooms for natural dyes. Her palette of discoveries ranged from yellow through ochre, orange, rose, and russet shades to burnt sienna and chocolate brown.
Miriam C. Rice (January 13, 1918 – August 30, 2010) was an American artist known for developing a palette of natural dyes extracted from mushrooms and other fungi.
