Photographer Takes Extreme Macro Photos To Show How Mesmerizing Mushrooms Can Be

When you’re walking down the forest, chances are you’ll see mushrooms with their brown hats, green moss that looks inviting to lay your head on, maybe even a deer running by. But there is a whole hidden tiny world that the human eye cannot see that easily and that world is truly mesmerizing to look at.

Meet Alison Pollack – a photographer for whom a stroll in a forest is more than just a way to relax and unwind. As Alison has a deep fascination with fungi and Myxomycetes, the subjects that she captures are sometimes as tiny as one or two millimeters. This results in breathtaking photographs, which reveal the macro world of our forests. Scroll down below to see the amazing pictures and interview with the photographer.
