Alison Pouliot strikes again

You can almost smell the damp, dark forest which fungi inhabit in the new book by nature photographer, now author, Alison  Pouli0t.
​

As a photographer Alison Pouliot brought over 100 evocative images to the large format fotog book Gariwerd:Reflecting on the Grampians, published by em PRESS. 
​
I ​also commissioned her to take pix of features along the Goldfields Track,  many of which adorn  both editions of the the track's guidebooks. 

Her new informative and entertaining ‘autoethnographic’ tour of the fungal world features, as you would expect, many striking photos. She's no slouch at writing either. 
I just went to flick through the book, and before I knew it, was immersed in the lexicon of fungi and its disappointing roots in English. 

The Allure of Fungi is published by CSIRO Publishing.

Photographer Alison Pouliot has become something of a fungi expert. She's always back in Australia from her other home in Switzerland for our fungi season in late autumn, running a series of workshops on the magic of fungi. 

This May she and I signed some of the remaining Limited edition copies of Gariwerd: Reflecting on the Grampians, which artfully present  her outstanding lyrical photos in large scale landscape format. Limited edition images are picked out in spot varnish and printed on the highest quality A1 paper possible. Only 500 were ever printed.
  
The photos were taken in the years just prior to the first big bushfire in the Grampians ranges in summer 2007. You won't see their like again, especially since the northern Grampians were ravaged by fire this summer. The signed copies were specially prepared for sale at the Clunes book fair – a few are left and you can buy these online in the em PRESS store for a 40% discount.
