Dazzling Macro Photographs Reveal the Magic of Tiny Fungi and Slime Molds

Pollack, who is a mathematician by training, and a self-professed "computer geek" and hiking enthusiast, became interested in photographing tiny fungi and slime molds a few years ago when she chanced upon and photographed her first slime mold in the forests of northern California. Intrigued, she did some research online about the slime mold life cycle, and has since been obsessed with hunting and snapping images of these different species, which are often overlooked by people because they are so small.
