Description
Humans have used a multitude of wild species of plants, fungi, and animals for food and medicinal purposes. However, with the widespread establishment of industrial agriculture and globalization, the numbers of consumed plant, animal, and fungi species have significantly reduced. While in most developed or urban societies, virtually only cultivated or bred species are consumed, rural communities in many countries remain familiar with and consume many wild plant and mushroom species [1].
