Abstract Background We performed an ethnomycological study in a community Tlaxcala, Central Mexico to identify the most important species of wild mushrooms growing oak forest, their significance criteria, and validate Cultural Significance Index (CSI). Methods Thirty-three mestizo individuals were randomly selected San Mateo Huexoyucan asked seven questions based on criteria established by CSI. Among 49 mushroom collected forest open areas, 20 mentioned often analyzed more detail. Ordination...

This paper describes the traditional mycological knowledge of Nahua San Isidro Buensuceso, on slopes La Malinche Volcano National Park, in state Tlaxcala, México. The results described this were obtained through interviews with villagers selected at random; a free-listing technique was used to determine cultural significance mushrooms region. A total 48 species, which had 65 Náhuatl names and 40 Spanish, identified. Although consider be natural resource mainly for food, they also use them...

The aim of this study was to explore the systematic position fungi associated with roots M. uniflora in two localities Tlaxcala, Mexico, using a phylogenetic approach. Thirty plants were sampled, fifteen from coniferous forest dominated by Abies religiosa La Malinche National Park, and mixed conifer-broadleaf Pseudotsuga menziesii Sierra de Tlaxco. Our ITS analysis confirms preference associate Russulaceae, particularly Russula species. each plant single fungal sequence. They analyzed...

The aim of this paper is to compare edible mushroom availability between the two slopes La Malinche National Park in central México, and discuss possible relation their traditional use. Eight transects were set up. Samples collected weekly during rainy seasons years 1998–2000. Sixty-one species from a total area 3200 m 2 (0.32 ha). Over three-year period, diversity mushrooms ranged 21 28 taxa per transect line. Sporocarps produced at rate 2.06 6.05 kg/401.51 . highest richness production...

The species of Hebeloma have been little studied in Mexico, but received attention as edibles and trials to enhance production edible fungi tree growth through inoculation seedlings with ectomycorrhizal fungi. Here we describe three new that are currently known only from Mexico. These belong separate sections the genus: H.ambustiterranum is a member H.sect.Hebeloma, H.cohaerens belongs H.sect.Theobromina, while H.magnicystidiatum H.sect.Denudata. All were collected subtropical pine-oak...

Abstract Introduction One of the main goals ethnomycological studies is to understand role wild edible mushrooms (WEM) in diverse cultures. To that end, local knowledge WEM and their cultural importance are evaluated compared using qualitative quantitative methods. However, few have attempted discern such aspects about non-used mushrooms, since they considered as a residual category without relevance. Therefore, this paper analyses traditional non-edible break it down its components. Methods...
