“…Les groupes socio-linguistiques des Monts-Kouffè, Peuls, Bètamaribè et Lopka, au Bénin, consomment une dizaine de saprotrophes (Fadeyi et al, 2017). Ce mode de consommation des CSC a été aussi observé en Éthiopie (Dejene et al, 2017). À l'opposé, les peuples Bassar et Kabyè, riverains du Parc national Fazao-Malfakassa (PNFM) au Togo (Afrique de l'Ouest), consomment de nombreuses espèces de champignons ectomycorhiziens dont Amanita loosii Beeli, Russula oleifera Buyck et Cantharellus congolensis Beeli (Kamou et al, 2017).…”

Pour les communautés de forêts humides du Cameroun – Bantu, pygmées Baka et Bagyeli –, les champignons sauvages comestibles (CSC) ont toujours été considérés comme de substantielles sources alimentaires et médicinales. Cependant, peu d’informations sont disponibles sur la diversité et l’écologie des CSC du Cameroun. Aussi une étude a-t-elle été entreprise pour connaître la diversité et acquérir les connaissances endogènes des principaux champignons sauvages comestibles et médicinaux de la forêt humide de ce pays. À partir d’excursions mycologiques, d’enquêtes structurées et semi-structurées conduites dans une vingtaine de sites de cinq régions du Grand-Sud-Cameroun, les espèces de CSC ont été collectées et décrites. Quatre-vingt-quatorze taxons de CSC ont été identifiés, appartenant à 32 familles et 41 genres, dont environ 61,7 % de saprotrophes, 21,3 % de taxons ectomycorhiziens (ECM) et 17 % d’espèces du genre Termitomyces, les plus fréquemment collectées et consommées. Cette forte diversité fongique s’est traduite par un éventail varié d’habitats et de niches écologiques. Les CSC les plus appréciés sont les saprotrophes Armillaria camerounensis et Volvariella volvacea, ainsi que toutes les espèces de Termitomyces et de chanterelles. La plupart de CSC sont collectés pour la consommation. La vingtaine d’espèces de CSC ectomycorhiziens sont symbiotiquement associées aux racines de 13 genres d’essences forestières appartenant aux familles des Cesalpiniaceae et Phyllantaceae. In fine, deux principaux services écosystémiques de production sont fournis par les CSC du Cameroun : l’approvisionnement alimentaire et médicinal, et l’octroi de revenus. Des besoins de recherche s’imposent en faveur de l’étude de la biodiversité et des médicinaux des CSC de la forêt humide du Cameroun, et de la valorisation des déchets agricoles pour la culture du champignon de paille V. volvacea.

A Thirty one species of macro fungi which belong to phylum Basidiomycota and Ascomycota were found from three villages in Enggano Island. Among those, nine species are new records for Sumatera, namely Phellinus gilvus, Fomitella supina, Flaviporus liebmannii, Coriolopsis polyzona, Flabellophora sp., Trichaptum byssogenum, Stecherrinum sp., Stereum cf. pergameneum dan Trametes cf. villosa, whilst other two species, namely Cookeina cremeirosea and Fomitella supina are new for Indonesia. One species, Phellinus gilvus, has been known as a harmful parasite on rubber plantation. Six are recognized as edible mushrooms, namely Pleurotus ostreatus, Volvariella volvacea, Schizophyllum commune, Auricularia auricula-judae, Lentinus sajor-caju, and Panus neostrigosus. Two species, Favolus grammocephalus and Panus neostrigosus are therapeutic agents, and two others, Earliella scabrosa and Pycnoporus sanguineus are potential species as color degradation agents.

“…In Ethiopia, mushrooms are wild edible resources and important NTFPs like that of wild edible fruits, particularly in the southern and southwestern parts of the country [30][31][32]. Despite poor scientific knowledge, wild mushroom utilization is a common traditional practice among different ethnic groups in Ethiopia [33,34].…”

“…Despite poor scientific knowledge, wild mushroom utilization is a common traditional practice among different ethnic groups in Ethiopia [33,34]. Mushrooms, along with other wild edible resources, are used as a coping food during periods of food shortage in localities where they are used as food [31,35]. In some local markets, mushrooms are sold by local people to provide some income to supplement the household economy [36].…”

Ethnomycological information was gathered by conducting semi-structured interviews with members of the Amhara, Agew, and Sidama ethnic groups in Ethiopia. A total of 300 individuals were involved in this study. Forest excursions were also undertaken to investigate the habitat and to identify useful wild mushroom species present in the study areas. A total of 24 useful wild mushroom species were identified. Among the three ethnic groups, the Sidama have the most extensive ethnomycological knowledge and over seven vernacular names for useful fungal species were recorded for this group. Collecting mushrooms is common practice among the Sidama and usually carried out by women and children during the main rainy season from June to September. Useful mushrooms are collected in natural forests, plantation forests, grazing areas, home gardens, and swampy areas. In terms of medicinal uses, Lycoperdon perlatum Pers. and Calvatia rubroflava (Cragin) Lloyd. are well-known treatments for wounds and skin disease. Harvest storage of wild mushroom species is unknown. Respondents in the Amhara and Agew ethnic groups were similar in terms of their use and knowledge of mushrooms. Both ethnic groups reported that although wild mushroom species were consumed by their grandparents, they do not eat mushrooms themselves, which could eventually represent a loss of mycological knowledge in these two ethnic groups. Such inconsistency between ethnic groups in terms of their knowledge may also be linked to the social valuation of mushroom resources, which could easily be mitigated by raising awareness. Thus, the baseline information obtained in this study could be useful for further investigations and documentation, and to promote ethnomycological benefits to different ethnic groups in countries with similar settings.
