The Way Through the Woods: On Mushrooms and Mourning by Long Litt Woon
An anthropologist born in Malaysia and based in Norway, Long Litt Woon weaves together two intimate narratives in this unusual book: her initiation into the world of fungi, and a deeply personal account of losing her husband and learning to live alone. Both strands are autobiographical. Grief and the search for refuge in a suddenly empty world led Long into the forest, where she began to ask what draws people to mushrooms, how two kingdoms of life interact, and what laws govern quiet foraging—its pleasures and its hidden dangers.
Her decision to go mushroom picking ultimately brought her new expertise: she is now a member of the Norwegian Mycological Association. The result is a book where vivid descriptions of forest walks, mushroom recipes, and thoughtful reflections on modern life’s place between civilization and nature sit together with surprising harmony.
