The mushroom hunters, by contrast, are a rough lot. They live in the wilderness and move with the seasons. Motivated by Gold Rush desires, they haul improbable quantities of fungi from the woods for cash. Langdon Cook embeds himself in this shadowy subculture, reporting from both rural fringes and big-city eateries.

In 1834, the British Lord Chancellor, Lord Henry Brougham, was on his way to Nice, still part of Italy and already a popular winter resort with English aristocrats. Because of a cholera epidemic in Provence, the governor of Nice had closed the border so Brougham and his daughter Eleanore were turned back. On their way to Grasse, they stopped for the night at an inn on what is today the Rue du Port in Cannes.

中国地方の中央、広島県北東部の盆地に位置する三次市には、江戸後期の神道家・平田篤胤も強い関心を持った「稲生物怪録」という怪異譚を記録した書物が伝わる。江戸中期、三次藩士の息子である稲生平太郎が、仲間との肝試しで嵐の中近所の山に登り、触れれば祟りがあるという石に木札を結び帰ってくる。すると、連日連夜、化物がやって来て平太郎を驚かすが、平太郎は動じる事がない。それが一ヶ月続いて、その最後にはついに魔王・山本五郎左衛門(さんもとごろうざえもん)が現れるが、それでも動じない平太郎に魔王は感嘆し、魔王の助力が得られる木槌を与えて去る、という話である。三次市には、その平太郎の屋敷跡や、「稲生物怪録」にも登場する山へ登る際の入口となった神社、木札を結んだ石、山麓の寺院などが今も残っている。また、平太郎は長じて武太夫と名乗り、三次藩が併合されたため広島へ移ったが、武太夫の名は広島でも轟いたようで、広島市内には武太夫を祭る神社があり、魔王より授かったという木槌も、市内の国前寺に伝わっている。また、四国・松山のお家騒動に関係した化け狸・隠神刑部（いぬがみぎょうぶ）を退治したという伝説が当地にあり、近隣にもその勇名が広く知られていた。「稲生物怪録」とは一体何だったのか？その舞台を訪ね、真相に迫る。
