'A poetic and remarkably fertile exploration of the relationship between human beings and the natural environment.'—Pankaj Mishra, The Guardian'I'm very grateful to have this book.'—Ursula K. Le GuinThe acclaimed and award-winning book about what a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a fragile planetA Flavorwire and Times Higher Education Book of the YearMatsutake 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.

Works well
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
There is nothing special about this product but it works fine. The only thing is that the paper towels are rough and thin, rather than a thick and soft. They fit perfectly on our paper towel rack so that’s nice. I recommend this product if you don’t care how your paper towels feel.

These bags do a good job for the price. I would definitely buy them again. No stinky smells coming from the trash can when I use these. They are a doof quality garbage flex bag. The fit was perfect for what i was using them for and the thickness was also goo.
