Abstract

[The conclusion gives a summary of the major findings, and adds certain extensions to the social life of the caterpillar fungus in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This microhistory of the caterpillar fungus reveals its intersection with natural history, materia medica and medical practice as an illumination of the relationship between exoticism and indigeneity, truth and imagination, and epistemological disparity and discursive hierarchy. It also brings to the foreground the importance of the inherent properties of an organism itself to the making of its history, and to our understanding of transnational history, history of science and cross-cultural medical history.]
