Setting the Scene

Wild edible mushrooms as an alternative for the consumption of antioxidants and phenolic compounds: An overview

“…Peintner et al (2013) mentioned that in European countries, there are approximately 268 species of wild mushrooms of commercial importance. Mexico is considered the wealthy second country in mushroom culture (Pérez-Moreno et al 2020), with 371 edible mushroom species distributed among 99 genera (Garibay-Orijel et al 2014). However, this number could be as high as 450 species by fully integrating traditional knowledge of edible mushrooms (Pérez-Moreno et al 2020).…”

Edible mycorrhizal fungi of the world: What is their role in forest sustainability, food security, biocultural conservation and climate change?

“…(2019); (n) Pérez‐Moreno and Martínez‐Reyes (2014); (o) Pérez‐Moreno et al. (2020); (p) Savoie and Largeteau (2011); (q) Serra et al. (2016); (r) Tibuhwa (2013)…”

“…Mexico is a megadiverse country and a biodiversity hotspot. It has 68 ethnic groups, and it holds one of the largest diversities of EMF in the world, with more than 450 species of wild mushrooms being consumed in the country (Pérez‐Moreno, Guerin‐Laguette, Flores‐Arzú, Yu, et al., 2020). The country has more than 160 species of oaks and 72 taxa of pines, being ranked first place in the world in diversity of these important ectomycorrhizal host trees.…”

Cultivation studies of edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms: successful establishment of ectomycorrhizal associations <i>in vitro</i> and efficient production of fruiting bodies

“…and related species), porcinis ( Boletus edulis Bull. and related species), saffron milk caps ( Lactarius deliciosus [L.] Gray and related species), and matsutakes ( Tricholoma matsutake [S. Ito & S. Imai] Singer and related species) have high economic value worldwide ( Zambonelli & Bonito, 2012 ; Pérez-Moreno, Guerin-Laguette, Arzú, & Yu, 2020 ), with annual global sales estimated at several billion dollars. These mushrooms are harvested in forests or plantations for both domestic and export markets ( Arora, 2008 ; Tsing, 2015 , Pérez-Moreno et al, 2021 ).…”

“…), desert truffles ( Terfezia ), Lyophyllum shimeji Hongo, Rhizopogon roseolus (Corda) Th. Fr., and Astraeus ( Wang & Chen, 2014 ; Yamada et al, 2017 ; Suwannasai, Dokmai, Yamada, Watling, & Phosri, 2020 ; Pérez-Moreno et al, 2020 ; Yamanaka et al, 2020 ; Guerin-Laguette, 2021 ). Most other edible mycorrhizal taxa including Caesar's mushrooms, chanterelles, and matsutakes are harvested in managed natural or semi-natural (plantation or secondary) forests because techniques for mycorrhizal seedling have yet to be established for these taxa ( Pilz, Norvell, Danell, & Molina, 2003 ; Yamada, Ogura, & Ohmasa, 2001b , c ; Endo, Gisusi, Fukuda, & Yamada, 2013 ; Endo et al, 2014 ; Yamanaka et al, 2020 ; Guerin-Laguette, 2021 ).…”
