I have compiled some recipes that should work for everyone since they are straight mixes, with no ingredients that react. I've used prices at The Goods as a guide to the costs of ingredients, in order to present the cheapest formula. (Still, a paint specialist can usually make the same color with a much cheaper recipe. Ask around before using up a ton of mushrooms!). This list does not include anything that can be done with Dead Tongue, because I don't know yet what it reacts with. -- Amtep
