Valorization of wild edible mushrooms and traditional knowledge from South-West Côte d'Ivoire
Wild edible mushrooms are Non-Wood Forest Products (NTFP) that play an important role in food and traditional medicine (Dossou et al. 2012; Yian 2018). They therefore contribute to the well-being of local populations. In Côte d'Ivoire, populations living in rural areas have endogenous mycological knowledge. However, this knowledge remains very poorly documented and is threatened with disappearance due to the lack of transmission to new generations.
