'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.

Good product
Scent: Scented, Size: 26 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash makes my skin feel SO much softer and less dry. I especially notice a difference when my skin is feeling extra thirsty or Florida-weather confused 😅☀️. It lathers nicely, smells clean without being overpowering, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped afterward. The hyaluronic acid sounds fancy and skincare-science-y, but whatever it’s doing, my skin seems happy about it 😂 Just a really nice everyday body wash that feels a little more luxe than the price.

Hydrates even dragon skin
Scent: Scented, Size: 26 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As someone who survives Northeast winters with skin that reacts like it’s being punished for existing — flaky, angry, and audibly crunchy — I can confidently say this body wash is a full-blown miracle in a bottle. If you’ve ever woken up in a radiator-heated apartment feeling like your shins have been slow-roasted overnight, this is for you. First off, the scent is light and pleasant, like what I imagine clouds would smell like if they went to therapy. But the real magic is in the feel - - - silky, smooth, and somehow more hydrating than most moisturizers I’ve tried. This stuff lathers like a dream and rinses off clean, but leaves your skin feeling like it just drank a gallon of water and booked a spa day. I’m not saying I have dragon skin, but if Drogon from Game of Thrones took a hot shower in my apartment, I’d lather him up with this and send him off glowing. Thanks to the Vitamin B3 and hyaluronic acid, my skin no longer flakes off like parmesan cheese every time I take off a sweater. Winter in the Northeast is basically a four-month battle between you and every heating unit trying to desiccate you like jerky. This body wash is your secret weapon. Honestly, it should come with a tiny cape. Five stars. Ten if you’ve ever itched your shin so hard in February that you briefly considered moving to Florida.
