ALISON POULIOT

Alison is an ecologist and professional environmental photographer who has worked with fungi for three decades. She is actively involved in teaching, research and conservation, but is mostly in the undergrowth among fungi.

Alison delves deep into the realm of fungi through multiple lenses. As an ecologist, she explores the natural world with the objectivity of science. As someone who roams the forest daily, she relates to it with an aesthetic and sensory appreciation. Alison draws on both worldviews in her efforts to stir a broader public consciousness in the way we regard forests, fungi and all life.

Alison is author of The Allure of Fungi, Wild Mushrooming, Underground Lovers, Meetings with Remarkable Mushrooms, Funga Obscura and Mushroom Day.
