摘要
The Tzeltal Maya of Chiapas, Mexico, gather at least 22 mushroom species for food and medicine. Ethnomycological knowledge associated with culturally utilized species is highly detailed. Knowledge of species that are not utilized is idiosyncratic or entirely missing. Mushroom gathering generally occurs at the household level for consumption by the family, and a few people collect edible species for sale in the markets.
