Mushroom-Hunting Photos Recall Gold Rush-Era Living
"Over 5,000 mushrooms grow naturally in North America, but only a small percentage are foraged for the food industry. Edible and sought-after varietals grow in abundance throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. In the forests of Central Oregon where Johnson photographed, hunters harvest morels and bolete mushrooms in the spring, and matsutakes and chanterelles in the summer. It is a lucrative line of work for some."

First Place Photograph: Biomineral CrystalsPupa U. P. A. Gilbert and Christopher E. Killian; University of Wisconsin, Madison
"These beautiful structures are the microscopic crystals that make up a sea urchin's tooth. Each shade of blue, aqua, green, and purple--superimposed on a scanning electron micrograph using Photoshop--highlights an individual crystal of calcite, the abundant carbonate mineral found in limestone, marble, and shells.
Instead of flat sides and sharp edges, the sea urchin produces complex, intertwined curved plates and fibers that interlock and fill space in the tooth as they grow, according to the National Science Foundation. Though made of a substance normally as soft as chalk, the teeth are hard enough to grind rock, and sea urchins use them to gnaw holes where they can take shelter from rough seas and predators."
