I bleached some shrooms at the same time as some tuffs, worked a treat.

Fink I left em in a good few days though.

Maybe weeks, twas a while ago

Anyway heres the results, they were mucky as fook though pre bleach.  :daumenhoch:

Mushies respond much better to bleach and dye. If bleach doesn't cut the mustard try soaking them in some fabric whitener for 24 hours...
