What a Mushroom Lives For pushes today's mushroom renaissance in compelling new directions. For centuries, Western science has promoted a human- and animal-centric framework of what counts as action, agency, movement, and behavior.

The book tells the fascinating story of one particularly prized species, the matsutake, and the astonishing ways it is silently yet powerfully shaping worlds.

Questa ricerca di una perfezione utopica e variamente declinata, esasperata per difetto e per eccesso, è alimentata da canoni estetici imposti dal contesto culturale e dalle specifiche discipline – il body building, la danza, la ginnastica – ma spesso si innesta su un disagio del quale anoressia e vigoressia sono sintomi opposti e complementari.
