Traditional knowledge, access, use and transformation of wild edible fungi in santa Catarina del monte, Estado de México
Abstract
In this article, we describe the traditional knowledge of men
and women who collect and sell wild fungi in Santa Catarina
del Monte, Estado de México. This knowledge is culturally
constructed and contributes to family diet, as well as constituting
economic earnings for those who gather these products. Residents
understand about collection seasons and places where they are
produced; they can differentiate between edible and poisonous
species, which they use and transform. This knowledge has been
preserved because the use of wild plants, in general, and of
fungi in particular, for food is a traditional practice that has
always accompanied communities that reside near forests, and
subsistence agriculture.
