Book Club: The Mushroom at the End of the World

​We are hosting a book club discussing “The Mushroom at the End of the World” by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing. The book traces the supply chain of the matsutake mushroom to explore ecological degradation as a result of late stage capitalism and methods of considering alternative solutions and societies in its wreckage. We will discuss with guided questions in a large group or break up into small groups depending on turnout. We are sure to have a rich, fruitful discussion and — can’t wait to hear everyone’s perspectives!
