Description
The matsutake mushroom continues to be a highly sought delicacy, especially in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisine. Matsutake Worlds explores this mushroom through the lens of multispecies encounters, particularly the matsutake’s notorious elusiveness. The mushroom’s success on the world stage, the contributors of this volume argue, cannot be accounted for by any one cultural, social, political, or economic process. Rather, the matsutake mushroom has flourished as the result of a number of different processes and world-making dynamics, culminating in the culinary institution we know today.
