Long Litt WoonMushrooms: I have only in recent years tuned in to mushrooms really at all, despite much of a life spent engaged with the outdoors. So when I saw a review in late summer of a new book called “The Way Through the Woods: On Mushrooms and Mourning”—part memoir, part primer on fungi—it caught my attention.
"The Way Through the Woods" is by Long Litt Woon, an anthropologist originally from Malaysia who has spent her adult life living in Norway. It's at once both an invitation to the astonishing world of fungi and also the personal story of a path of healing from great grief. I was treated to a conversation with Woon, about how she got started with mushrooming and where it has led her.
