I am sure this is just a variation on the gelatin swelling process. Where
the gelatin is not hardened it is allowed to soak up chemicals that are
anti-fungal. Once dried after a rapid and cold water wash the print is
inoculated with a strain of fungus that grows black. This is then placed in
a high humidity warm place for a few weeks for development. Or if you have a
month and need a rich black color the back of the fridge would work.
I am sure this is written up in the keepers of darkness publication.
