I live at the border of a nice forest (Fontainebleau), where I sometimes see rotten wood on the ground that is, oddly enough, blue. I tried to get some infos, and I learned this is due to a special mushroom that gives this strange colour to the wood. The blue is very resistant: such a wood has been used in marquetry during the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, and the colour is still bright...
I collected it and try to turn it. It usually displays a nice blue-green colour, but is often too rotten to be turned. When it is strong enough, it is less blue... Sometimes a happy medium shows up, on which I often like to add some mother-of-pearl adornments.
C&q very welcome.
