Names and classification of fungi according to the peasants from La Paz (Traslasierra valley, Córdoba, Argentina)

Ethnomycology is considered a subfield of ethnobiology that studies the roles of fungi in different cultures. The study of the names that people give to the elements of their environment is a useful starting point for elucidating the underlying nomenclatural patterns, and for understanding the ways...
