01.09: The Mushroom Hunters: On the Trail of an Underground America

2013-12-17 00:35:51| Powells Books Events Calendar

Within the dark corners of America's forests grow culinary treasures. Chefs pay top dollar to showcase these elusive and beguiling ingredients on their menus. The mushroom hunters, by contrast, are a rough lot. They live in the wilderness and move with the seasons. Motivated by Gold Rush desires, they haul improbable quantities of fungi from the woods for cash. Langdon Cook embeds himself in this shadowy subculture, reporting from both rural fringes and big-city eateries with the flair of a novelist, uncovering along the way what might be the last gasp of frontier-style capitalism. Rich with the science and lore of edible fungi — from seductive chanterelles to exotic porcini — The Mushroom Hunters (Ballantine) is equal parts gonzo travelogue and culinary history lesson, a rollicking, character-driven tour through a world that is by turns secretive, dangerous, and tragically American. The Mushroom Hunters has been shortlisted for the 2014 PNBA Book Awards.
