Sailor (Kingdom Note) Entoloma Virescens

[lgsoltek]

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.

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 ) but the batch I got looks like it might be a little less saturated than yours
