COMA 2024 Clark Rogerson Foray
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.

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.
