OMG thank you I have seminar on this book in 10 minutes and now i have an idea what to talk about

Thank you for such a clear and easy to understand review of what looks like really engaging 'story for our times'. I likes that you stepped us through the key linkages without oversimplifying the the theoretical frames ( I struggle with capitalist theory and commodity chains) then brought all the threads together at the end with the matsutake as a metaphor for life emerging amidst the ruins. Awesome.

This was a really great review, thank you!

Great review 🦋 thx for the video

Excellent review . . . quite a gap in time from your other reviews! Can't help myself but as a comedian once said, "Is there an Atlantic North West"?

Nice review. I might be mistaken, but I think in Cormac McCarthy's The Road, the man and the boy come across these mushrooms in a forest!

Great review Jared!

Not sure what the book entails, however one of her lectures, revealed a rather class oriented 'save the world - mantra'. Given that 97% of the world cannot afford such post-atom bomb fungus - these mushrooms which are supposed to the end times miracle savoir . Never mind the current suicide rate in Japan.

Mushroom seeds? They have spores to propagate and a big chapter in that book is about that as well. How could they have traveled across the ocean.
