SPORES: MAGICAL MUSHROOM PHOTOGRAPHY

To see a mushroom is a kind of magic. It is embodied evidence of total serendipity, a beguiling conjunction of time and place, weather and circumstance. It is also evidence of the unseen, thriving life that surrounds us. In this 208-page photographic foray, more than 90 artists capture mushrooms in settings both natural and supernatural—growing on the forest floor, popping up in our homes, gleaming in a fluorescent glow, and arranged like alien flowers. Each image invites readers to look closely, revealing new dimensions of the mushroom’s magic. Glossy hardcover with embossed title. 208 pages, including surprise die cuts. 9.75 x 8.25”.
