Krátky popis
What a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a
fragile planetMatsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the
world—and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the
northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees,
matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an
edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical
prices.In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into
areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question:
what manages to live in the ruins we have made? 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.By investigating one of the
world's most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the
World presents an original examination into the relation between
capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within
multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on
earth.
