Join author Julie Beeler and illustrator Yuli Gates in conversation about the making of The Mushroom Color Atlas book. Equal parts art book, field guide, and color distillation workshop, it is a comprehensive primer on the universe of colors lurking inside fungi. The book features beautiful botanical mushroom illustrations, colored by hand and outlined digitally, providing clear and accurate features to find and identify more than two dozen color-filled mushroom species in the wild. In celebration of the book release in the UK, Yuli and Julie will delve into the kaleidoscopic fungi kingdom and the spectrum of hues created from mushrooms.
