Making ink from inkcap Fungies

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.

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.
