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.
For 2024, we will be at the Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp, an accessible 460-acre facility in Copake, NY. The secluded site features a private lake and comfortable ("motel-style") accommodations. Foraging on campus and in nearby parks is reliably outstanding. We usually identify and record close to 400 species and will have a team of mycologists and expert identifiers on hand throughout the event.
The Ursula Hoffmann scholarship is intended to support the recipient's attendance at COMA's annual Clark Rogerson Foray.
Please prepare appropriately. And as always, if the forecast changes for the very bad, we might shift the walk to a different day or cancel it. […]
Next Monday's week's ID meeting will be happening online.
Rather than using our usual format we're going to experiment a little. Since there are fewer fungi to be found this time of year, we'll be diving deeper into genera that a lot of people are interested in. This Monday the spotlight is on the milky caps - Lactarius and Lactifluus, hosted and moderated by the club's own expert Bethany Beech.
Bring your most exciting or confounding milky cap observations and let's figure them out together.
As always we encourage you to use iNaturalist to share your observations - it's a great way to keep track of your finds, and you will be able to participate in these two NYMS projects:
