What a Mushroom Lives For by Michael Hathaway
Summary
Our friend Michael Hathaway (featured in FE3.6) has now published his book, entitled "What a Mushroom Lives For: Matsutake and the Worlds They Make" — and, unsurprisingly, it's great.
It's the 2nd in an academic trilogy after Anna Tsing's legendary "The Mushroom at the End of the World" (n.b. there's no need to sweat the sequence).
Michael was invited by the journal Antennae to submit an interview, and asked Mendel to play interlocutor. This is that conversation, unedited and unabridged.
