In this reading, I found myself captivated by Tsing’s unique approach, and ability to explore the complexities of our world through the lens of the matsutake mushroom. Tsing’s research on the matsutake mushroom which is a species known to flourish in places affected by human encroachment, acts as a symbolic metaphor showcasing the ecological instability of our world. One of the questions that lingers in my mind is how Tsing’s concept of “salvage accumulation” and “latent commons” can be applied to other aspects of our society beyond the realm of the matsutake mushroom. However, I am left questioning if we can discover more “latent commons” in our society that are presently disregarded or underestimated, and how would acknowledging and fostering these commons enhance our collective survival and well-being?
