Attempts were made to study the wild edible fungi commonly known as “Mushroom” which are collected and used in dietary in many parts of our country. In Madhya Pradesh, the tribal and rural poor were noticed to collect, consume and sell some wild fungi. It can be conjectured that unknowingly the tribal people supplement their requirement for essential protein, fat, carbohydrates and minerals by consuming wild edible fungi. During the course of study five edible fungi used by tribal people of Kundwara and Raoria villages have been identified, namely Cantharellus sp., Podabrella microcarpa, Termitomyces heimii, T. clypeatus and Macrolepiota procera. The Nutritional analyses for protein, sugars, fat, minerals and micronutrients were carried out for the edible fungi.
