Description Mushrooms are cosmopolitan heterotrophic organisms that are quite specific in their nutritional and ecological requirements. They
are among the most relished food commodities among a number of nonconventional foodstuffs primarily because of their unique
flavor and texture. Wild edible mushrooms have been collected and consumed by people since thousands of years. Mushrooms have
been exploited commercially the world over. In India due to its diverse climatic conditions, many types of mushrooms are found in the wild. The knowledge of their historical uses as food, medicine, a source of income, and for small-scale businesses and the sociological impacts (myth, culture, and spirituality) are apparently threatened due to slow ethnomycology-research drive.
