Abstract:
Food security remains a concern for all countries in the world, edible mushrooms are fungi that can be seen with the naked eye and are relatively easy to gather by hand. Phytochemical and nutritional constituents reveal that they have a capital importance in human and animal nutrition. The preservation of indigenous knowledge, the conservation of biodiversity, the promotion of sustainable practices, the nutritional, medical and economic importance of mushrooms have pushed scientists to become interested in the use of edible wild mushrooms by the tribes of the South Gujarat. Gujarat is one of the states in India with less consumption of edible mushrooms. Also, there is little documentation related to the use of edible mushrooms in the area; The objective of this work is to promote the recognition, utilization, and sustainable management of wild edible mushrooms. The methodology used was the reading of articles and review of previous years. Mushrooms grow in South Gujarat during the rainy season and belong to many families: Agaricaceae, Pleurotaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Tricholomataceae… Wild edible mushrooms are used by local people as source of nutrition, for the exploitation of medicinal properties and as a source of income.
