  • Please join us for an in-person lecture on mushroom photography by acclaimed mushroom photographer Alison Pollack!

    Central Park Arsenal 830 5th Ave, New York, United States

    Please join us for a very special in-person lecture at the Central Park Arsenal on Thursday September 26 at 6.30pm!

    Alison Pollack presents From Macro to Micro: The Art of Mushroom Photography

    Alison Pollack, one of the world's best mushroom photographers, will describe her process for creating beautiful photos of mushrooms and Myxomycetes (slime molds).  She will describe her techniques for field work, as well as studio photography using extreme macro lenses and microscope objectives adapted to her camera.  She will share some of her photographs of mushrooms and slime molds from her home in Northern California, as well as from her travels around the world.  Alison’s favorite photography subjects are tiny fungi and myxos, some so small that you would not see them as you walk through the forest.  She will describe how she finds these tiny organisms, most only one or two millimeters tall, and how she photographs them. She will discuss all of the gear she uses, as well as some of her methods for shooting and photo editing. 

  • Thank you for joining our 2nd NYMS Holiday Party, Tues. 12/10/2024!

    Thanks to the 50 members who braved the rain and ventured out to the wilds of Ridgewood on 12/10/2024 to create a festive and convivial evening.  We raised a toast to fungi and fermentation and indulged in delicious mushroom dishes.  Nineteen folks exchanged fun mushroomy Secret Santa / Siberian Shaman surprises.  Ten lucky raffle winners took home bottles of Irina Adam's Phoenix Botanicals new Black Trumpet Mushroom perfume (partnered with Scott Bluedorn's art).  Cheers to all our beloved members for making 2024 such a wonderful year of mycological discovery, cultural collaborations, and community building!

Our programming foregrounds diversity, aims to promote artists within our membership as well as mycological programming in partnership with local arts and culture organizations — from grass-roots groups to established institutions.
