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.

Supply chain 和commodity chain的区分很有用，指出后资本主义依赖salvage economy 作为主要的生产模式，从而外包lead firm对工人与环境维系的责任。很惊喜的是这本书在环境毁灭与生存困境的描述中仍然保持着某种乐观- will the art of noticing save us from what's to come?
我会不自觉沉溺于书中描绘的具体而微的相遇，并有点懊恼没有读到更贴合一个西南人对菌子的经验的episode；而我的同学们很多却总在执着于test out the applicability of the working model（if there is any）brought up in the text. 可是否只是一些散落于assemblage边缘不能被scale up的可能性呢。
《末日松茸》（The Mushroom at the End of the World）是一本没有参考文献的民族志，所有的资料来源都编织在注释中，与书的主体浑然一体。这篇编辑手记也想一反理论构架的解读方式，代之以多次阅读中发现的不同风景——也是作者在书中一直强调的永远在生成中的景观（landscape...

——Mushroom at the End of the World “据说遭受原子弹袭击的广岛地区最先恢复生机的是松茸”，对于大多数人来说这都是一个令人振奋的消息，美国向日本投放原子弹之后，媒体展现的广岛满是荒芜，没有生机的荒芜，广岛成为世界末日的想象模型，也成为警惕末日的警钟。就在人们...

思维如此发散的田野调查是第一次读到。从采松茸的人出发讲资本主义、流动群体、全球经济，以及文化融入的大论，也不明白作者到底是要作井底之蛙之论还是冰山一角之论（个人认为是前者）。偶尔还诗兴大发论一论气味的哲学，是不是有点自恋呢？另外，作者对于文化融入的见解实在是不能更不同意！

没有想象的INTENSE，整体大框架在现下的学术潮流中极其政治正确，所以并没有看出任何的特殊，而其刻意追求地新颖形式也使得全书的叙述太散与无力。感觉他提到的书会比这本书本身有意思很多。

主要力度在说明资本主义生产依赖于非资本主义的生产关系，put precarity and indeterminacy at the center.
