Purpose: The interest in evaluation of real knowledge of wild edible mushrooms at individual and population level increases mainly in developing countries. The purpose of our inquiry study was to assess the level of knowledge and awareness of the wild mushrooms in a random sample from the population of Varna region in Bulgaria. Material/Methods: We performed an anonymous questionnaire investigation of 200 adult individuals, 100 males and 100 females, from Varna region, including 17 potential opinions from their personal knowledge of wild edible mushroom usage. Statistical data processing was performed using descriptive methods, variation and correlation analyses. Results: Most respondents acquired their knowledge of wild edible mushrooms from their relatives. From all 200 persons investigated 78 respondents were not capable of recognizing at least one wild edible mushroom at all. More respondents trusted other people, who have very good experience with preparation of wild mushrooms, thus relying on differentiation of a mushroom poison. Their awareness was associated with their capacity to properly recognize wild mushrooms as well as their long-term practice to recognize toxic mushrooms. Just a minority of respondents shared that wild mushrooms in their vicinity could be a problem and had a slight idea of mycotherapy. Only two females had heard about training for wild mushroom recognition. There were statistically significant correlation dependences between respondent’s awareness of wild edible mushrooms, on one hand, and individual sex status, educational level and main residence, on the other hand. Conclusion: Our study identified two most recognized wild edible mushroom species in Varna region, edible boletus (Boletus edulis Bull) and parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera S. F. Gray). Most respondents acquired their knowledge of wild edible mushrooms from relatives. A problem-oriented training of the population on this topic should be performed to improve awareness of common mushroom features and avoid mushroom poisoning.

Wild Edible Mushroom

Belitong Island, The Province of Bangka Belitung is one of the exotic places with the biodiversity which has not been optimally inventoried. One of the potential germplasm that has not been recorded properly on Belitong Island is the mushrooms diversity and their potential uses. Mushroom are known as non-timber forestry product that is often sought after by local ethnic of Belitong Island and used as food. Apart from being consumed, these wild mushrooms are also traded, so they are one of the important seasonal commodities for the local community. This research aimed to provide the basic taxonomical information of wild edible mushroom in Belitong island as well as the biological characters. Observations were conducted 2 times in 2018 – 2019 using opportunistic sampling method.The utilization data of wild edible mushroom were collected to complete the macrofungi description in this study. A number of 5 edible wild mushrooms with th eeconomic value reported in this study were: Amanita sect. caesarea (kulat pelandok), Heimioporus sp. (kulat pelawan), Hygrocybe cf. conica (kulat tiong), Phylloporus sp. (kulat sukatan), and Volvariella sp. (kulat sawit). Three species of fungi are ectomycorrhizal forming fungi, namely kulat pelandok with Schima wallichii, kulat pelawan with Tristaniopsis merguensis, and kulat sukatan which host is still unclear. Meanwhile the rest are saprophytic macrofungi. All wild edible mushrooms are members of the phylum Basidiomycota which are divided into 2 orders and 4 families. Heimioporus sp. is known to be the highest selling price mushroom compared to the others, which indicated the potential prospect to proceed to the cultivation stage. In addition, conservation management of plants that are hosts of ectomycorrhizal fungi need to be an important concern on Belitong Island.

Edible Species

There are many thousands of mushroom species in the world, some are edible and some are poisonous due to containing significant toxins. The edible mushroom is a common food item with tempting flavour, taste and nutritive value; nowadays quite often grown at home and cultured with commercial marketing. Mushroom poisoning usually results from ingestion of wild mushrooms due to misidentification of a toxic mushroom as an edible species bearing very close resemblance, deliberate seeking of psychotropic mushrooms and accidental childhood ingestions. Majority of fatal mushroom poisoning occurs due to ingestion of Amanita Phalloides - the 'death cap', due to its high content of Amatoxin - a potent cytotoxin. Fatal poisoning is usually associated with delayed onset of symptoms which are very severe, with hepatic, renal, hemolytic and CNS involvement. Aim of this article is for informational and preventive purpose. Key words: Mushroom poisoning; amanita phalloidis; amatoxin.

Purpose: Wild edible mushrooms are collected and consumed for centuries worldwide and in Bulgaria as well. This questionnaire investigation aimed at assessing some common mushroom usage practices in a random sample from the population in Varna region, Bulgaria. Material/Methods: We performed a study of 200 adult individuals, 100 males and 100 females, from Varna region using anonymous questionnaire with 12 basic items about wild edible mushroom usage. Statistical data processing was performed using descriptive methods and correlation analysis. Results: There was a prevalence of male and female individuals with secondary and higher education. Most respondents preferred wild edible mushroom gathering in contrast to purchasing. The positive attitude towards wild edible mushroom usage as food is more common in males than in females. Most respondents consumed wild edible mushroom several times during any year. There were statistically significant correlations between urban main residence, on one hand, and wild edible mushroom non-nutritional usage, cooking, drying, preservation and freezing, on the other hand; between secondary educational level, on one hand, and positive attitude towards nutritional usage of wild edible mushrooms, wild edible mushroom cooking, preservation, freezing and drying and applications as therapeutic means; as well as between individual female sex belonging and wild edible mushroom applications as therapeutic means, on the other hand. Conclusion: This questionnaire investigation revealed several interesting peculiarities of the attitudes towards wild edible mushrooms among the population of Varna region and the extent of usage of common mushrooms depending on sex, educational level and main residence of respondents.

Yunnan Province, China, is famous for its abundant wild edible mushroom diversity and a rich source of the world’s wild mushroom trade markets. However, much remains unknown about the diversity of edible mushrooms, including the number of wild edible mushroom species and their distributions. In this study, we collected and analyzed 3585 mushroom samples from wild mushroom markets in 35 counties across Yunnan Province from 2010 to 2019. Among these samples, we successfully obtained the DNA barcode sequences from 2198 samples. Sequence comparisons revealed that these 2198 samples likely belonged to 159 known species in 56 different genera, 31 families, 11 orders, 2 classes, and 2 phyla. Significantly, 51.13% of these samples had sequence similarities to known species at lower than 97%, likely representing new taxa. Further phylogenetic analyses on several common mushroom groups including 1536 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences suggested the existence of 20 new (cryptic) species in these groups. The extensive new and cryptic species diversity in wild mushroom markets in Yunnan calls for greater attention for the conservation and utilization of these resources. Our results on both the distinct barcode sequences and the distributions of these sequences should facilitate new mushroom species discovery and forensic authentication of high-valued mushrooms and contribute to the scientific inventory for the management of wild mushroom markets.

Abstract This study evaluates the importance of wild edible mushrooms as food in three villages of the Binga, Zimbabwe. A purposive sampling method was employed to select three villages from two (Local Government Area) wards, 25 households per each village randomly selected from the total household list provided by the district administration department, with a total of 75 households. An open ended, structured semi structured interview guide was used to provide a preliminary list of wild edible mushrooms in the area and the identification methods used, using seven households from the three villages. Structured, semi-structured and guided forest walks with some of the informants and forest picking observation was carried out with local guide assistants who have the skills of local (Tonga) language and Shona language. An econometric model was used to identify the factors influencing wild edible mushroom consumption in the study area. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents. Results from purposive sampling showed that seven ethnospecies of wild edible mushrooms were listed (in Tonga and scientific names in parenthesis: Bakapyapya (Cantharellus spp), Bakayanda (Amanita loosii (zambiana)), Bwabbaya (Termitomyces spp), Indyuu (Termitomyces titanicus), Madongila (Amanita spp), Mbuse (Termitomyces clypeatus), Nowa (Lactarius kabansus) and Indyuu, Madongila, Nowa) and of these three were noted as extinct species (Indyuu, Madongila, Nowa). About 43% of the participants consumed wild edible mushrooms once every day, 19% twice every day and 14% every second day during the rainy season, underpinning the potential importance of wild edible mushrooms for food security. Around 52% of the participants collected wild edible mushrooms once every day, 28.6% of the every second day while around 16% collected once a week, during the rainy season. Ethnobotanical knowledge of wild edible mushrooms was mainly passed orally from elderly to young people (72.9% of the participants), while 15.7% passed by mothers to their children and 11% learned from female elders to young women and girls. Identification techniques such as texture feeling, colour underneath and on top, breaking and observing milk like liquid oozing out and points of collection were used. Women (21.4%), women accompanied by girl child (24.3%) are especially involved in wild edible mushrooms collection, while a minority 1.4% men, women accompanied by boy child (7.1%) did the collection. The mean monthly income per household is US$108.57, largest in Simandala and lowest in Dumbwe. The average age of the participants is 45.37 years. Of the 70 participants, 61.4 were female and 38.6 were male. Average consumption of wild edible mushrooms per meal per household is 1.436kg. About 95.7% of the participant served wild edible mushrooms as main relish, accompanying the staple. The mostly consumed were Indyuu (Zhouchuru) and Bakayanda (Nhedzi), consumed by 100% of the participants. Linear regression showed that the coefficients were positive and not significant at p<0.05 level, only significant on household size.
