Mushrooms & Friends features mushrooms from a Brooklyn organic mushroom farm and the forests of Upstate New York photographed in Phyllis Ma’s vivid, cinematic style. These fungal specimens appear in fantastical landscapes, with their macroscopic details enhanced by dreamlike arrangements.

Her recent works include Special Nothing, a book of travel still lifes, and Mushrooms & Friends, a photography series featuring foraged and cultivated mushrooms.
Phyllis’s work has been profiled in The New Yorker Magazine, The New York Times, It’s Nice That and Sight Unseen. Select commercial clients include Netflix, Vice, Lazy Oaf, SSENSE and A24.
