If I knew more about ecology, economics, international forestry politics, and mushrooms, I would possibly give this five stars, but this is one of those books that I felt I didn't know enough about the topics at hand to fully understand it all. That said, the parts I did understand were absolutely fascinating and compelling, and it gave even me, a layman, insight of how we can worm our way out from beneath capitalism without a Revolution. It also gave me a deeper appreciation for our potential for connections across nature and across cultures. I want to eat some matsutake now, too.
