Hello,
In my garden, on a trunk of a tree, are growing many funghi from the
species of "Ganoderma Applanatum".

When it's their time they spread lots of spores (a dark brown
powder). From that moment on everything in the vicinity is coloured
brown.
Strangely enough, being a gum printer, I never took samples to print
with. This summer I will give it a try. The fine brown powder is very
pigment-like.
Introducing spores and funghi in paper and colloids is a risk though.
