This is one of Kingdom Note's fungi ink.

Entoloma virescens (Sora-iro-take, "sky colour mushroom") is a cute blue mushroom.

The ink itself is quite nice as well! I like this colour.

Writing samples

With Platinum 3776 Century Medium, on Rhodia paper.

The ink is very smooth. When it's very wet you can see some red sheen but it's not prominent.

Comparison

All my blues compared. (Please ignore the Verdigris and Ebony Blue. The colours came out wrong.)

Thanks for the review. I'm really drawn to this one, but I'm not sure it's "special" enough to justify the cost. Still, it looks like a lovely blue.

Awesome colour....

 

I could maybe eat that mushroom and see what colours my hallucinating trip brings me haha

 

 

Sorry Iam Dutch haha

Das leben ist wie ein Perpetuum Mobile mit ein Mangel..... Immer im Bewegung jedoch nicht unendlich. (life is like a troubled Perpetuum Mobile ever moving but not for ever)

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Well as an Asian/Chinese, I did wondered whether this mushroom is edible. LOL

BTW Peter, the letter you mentioned you've sent me two or three months ago... I still haven't received it... Presumably lost :(

Thank you for another good review! This is one of my least favorite Sailors (and one I definitely will not replenish if my bottle ever runs out :P) but the batch I got looks like it might be a little less saturated than yours

You do great work!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
