Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing examines the matsutake mushroom as a lens through which to understand the precarious state of global capitalism and ecological survival. By tracing the complex supply chains of this highly prized fungus, the author reveals how multispecies interactions persist within the damaged landscapes of the Anthropocene. This ethnographic study offers a profound meditation on the possibility of life amidst the ruins of industrial progress.
