An ethnomycological study was conducted to describe the fungus concept and the traditional fungus classification system for the Nahuas of San Isidro Buensuceso, in central Mexico. The study which provides information on the co-existence of various forms of classification, based on both cultural and biological characteristics.
The research included conducting community interviews and forest forays in the company of mushroom pickers. The triad technique, pile sorting, and fresh mushroom sampling methods were used. Traditional names were analyzed to describe the Nahua classification system for fungi.
The triad technique with non-utilitarian stimuli allowed the fungi to be identified as an independent group of plants and animals. The Nahua people of San Isidro classify fungi primarily based on their use, where they grow, and by humoral characteristics. The analysis of the names revealed a classification based on the criteria proposed by Brent Berlin. This study identified the detailed knowledge of fungi in this Nahua community. The criteria used for the recognition of the species are very reliable, since they use organoleptic, ecological, phenological, and morphological characteristics.
本 ethnomycological 研究旨在描述墨西哥中部圣伊西德罗布恩苏塞索的纳瓦人对真菌的概念和传统真菌分类系统。该研究提供了基于文化和生物特征的各种分类形式共存的信息。
研究包括对蘑菇采摘者进行社区访谈和森林探险。采用三联技术、堆分类和新鲜蘑菇采样方法。对传统名称进行分析,以描述纳瓦人对真菌的分类系统。
使用非功利性刺激的三联技术可以将真菌识别为独立的植物和动物群体。圣伊西德罗的纳瓦人主要根据真菌的用途、生长地和体液特征对其进行分类。对名称的分析显示,这种分类是基于 Brent Berlin 提出的标准。本研究确定了这个纳瓦社区对真菌的详细了解。用于识别物种的标准非常可靠,因为它们使用了感官、生态、物候和形态特征。
