Some Wild Edible Termitomyces Found in the Region of Daloa (Centre-West, Côte d'Ivoire)

Abstract

This research focuses on the study of the diversity of termitomyces in the region of daloa. The aim is to inventory the species of wild termitomyces in order to identify and valorize them. Trips carried out in the daloa area have made it possible to list seven (7) wild termitomyces. The specimens collected are all edible and are used in the diet of the ivorian population. They are considered as substitute food for animal proteins. Among these species, six (6) have been described for the first time in côte d'ivoire based on their morphological and microscopic characters: T. striatus, T. umkowaani, T. robustus, T medius, T. aurantiacus, T. clypeatus. The species Termitomyces le-testui has already been cited and described.
