"A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the
World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected
corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake
commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters,
industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These
companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand
the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction."--Amazon.com
