"Why spend the afternoon making a meal that will be gone in an hour," her mother asks her hungry kids, with glittery-eyed logic, "when in the same amount of time, I can do a painting that will last forever?"

"Before the Japanese came, there were so many songrong, we would use baskets to gather them," Sui-nong recalls. "We'd put them in soup or sell them at the market for three yuan [35?] a kilo." Today, top-quality matsutake earn pickers 150 yuan ($18) each, skyrocketing...
