Matsutake 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.

读后感
个人很喜欢这本书，因为很喜欢这种以小见大讲一个故事的叙事。这本书从一种偏门的菌类（比起口蘑什么的）串起了东方和西方，近几十年的资本主义发展史，甚至学术史，故事讲得太精彩了。我觉得要是完全以此书为脚本拍个纪录片肯定是个特别有看头的纪录片。 但是要从经典的学术结...
评分一本从松茸发散到资本供应链，资本积累历史的书，以小见大，不仅讲述了松茸在菌类中的独特性，更从松茸与整个森林生态的关系，与寄居在森林中的采摘者的文化纠缠，进而到后期的购买者、使用者之间的联系，让松茸从单纯的美食视角中转身出来，获得了一个更为广阔的展示空间，只...

非专业角度读本书还是很喜欢的，推荐。几个关键概念：Precarity, Assemblage, Salvage, Symbiosis, Latent commons. 涵括数个学科边缘的架势和作者本身的见解一致：作为局外人对中国的现状把握得也很到位
评分看这种不按套路出牌的书感受还是挺怪的。。。
评分too poetic and idealized. 人类学家过于沉溺于主体sense-making's autonomy导致的结果就是强行赋予意义 不知道是不是因为相对于社会学有be ideologically positive的隐形学科负担 最后两堂seminar谈论life amidst ruins & the future已经让我觉得浪漫化倾向严重到了misleading的程度 而且degree of generalization越来越低
评分感情大于逻辑
评分这个时代可能正需要这样看待 precarity 与 indeterminacy 的感性视角
