The Mushroom Hunters
Author: Langdon Cook
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345536274
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
“A beautifully written portrait of the people who collect and distribute wild mushrooms . . . food and nature writing at its finest.”—Eugenia Bone, author of Mycophilia “A rollicking narrative . . . Cook [delivers] vivid and cinematic scenes on every page.”—The Wall Street Journal In the dark corners of America’s forests grow culinary treasures. Chefs pay top dollar to showcase these elusive and enchanting ingredients on their menus. Whether dressing up a filet mignon with smoky morels or shaving luxurious white truffles over pasta, the most elegant restaurants across the country now feature one of nature’s last truly wild foods: the uncultivated, uncontrollable mushroom. 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. Meet Doug, an ex-logger and crabber—now an itinerant mushroom picker trying to pay his bills and stay out of trouble; Jeremy, a former cook turned wild-food entrepreneur, crisscrossing the continent to build a business amid cutthroat competition; their friend Matt, an up-and-coming chef whose kitchen alchemy is turning heads; and the woman who inspires them all. Rich with the science and lore of edible fungi—from seductive chanterelles to exotic porcini—The Mushroom Hunters is equal parts gonzo travelogue and culinary history lesson, a fast-paced, character-driven tour through a world that is by turns secretive, dangerous, and quintessentially American.

Pages : 299
Book Description
Hidden deep within our galaxy is another world of dozens of planets, each one containing and supporting different yet extraordinary life—life that cannot possibly be understood by our simple existence. In this hidden world, there is a ruling planet, one with the supremacy and dominance to control and maintain peace throughout this unknown and untamed vastness for millennia—but in this very different and hidden world, danger lies in wait. It waits for the day when it can crawl back from the darkness to swallow everything whole, when it can take vengeance on those that did it wrong so long ago. Now this evil has stretched out its taloned darkness to our world, and in order to keep peace and destroy this hungering evil, a savior from the hidden vastness must follow into our time. He must come to our world in order to stop this evil from trying to conquer all. This savior is charged with the safety and protection of our world, but with his aid comes the aid of people that are friendlier and keener to our world—people that live here among us but are just as extraordinary as the one trying to save us and just as powerful as the evil plaguing us. Will this savior be capable of awakening the Soul Star, or will the evil consume this plain and get what it has come for? Will the Devilry Hunters unite once again under the banner once lost to save their home, or will their humanity weaken them and allow this evil to prosper?
