This study aims to fill the gaps in ethnomycological knowledge in Serbia by identifying various fungal species that have been used due to their medicinal or nutritional properties. Ethnomycological information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with participants from different mycological associations in Serbia. A total of 62 participants were involved in this study. Eighty-five species belonging to 28 families were identified. All of the reported fungal species were pointed out as edible, and only 15 of them were declared as medicinal. The family Boletaceae was represented by the highest number of species, followed by Russulaceae, Agaricaceae and Polyporaceae. We also performed detailed analysis of the literature in order to provide scientific evidence for the recorded medicinal use of fungi in Serbia. The male participants reported a higher level of ethnomycological knowledge compared to women, whereas the highest number of used fungi species was mentioned by participants within the age group of 61-80 years. In addition to preserving ethnomycological knowledge in Serbia, this study can present a good starting point for further pharmacological investigations of fungi.
本研究旨在通过识别因药用或营养特性而被使用的各种真菌物种，填补塞尔维亚民族真菌学知识的空白。通过对塞尔维亚不同真菌学协会的参与者进行半结构化访谈，收集了民族真菌学信息。共有62名参与者参与了本研究。鉴定出了属于28个科的85个物种。所有报告的真菌物种均被指出可食用，其中只有15种被宣称具有药用价值。牛肝菌科的物种数量最多，其次是红菇科、蘑菇科和多孔菌科。我们还对文献进行了详细分析，以便为塞尔维亚记录的真菌药用用途提供科学依据。男性参与者报告的民族真菌学知识水平高于女性，而61至80岁年龄组的参与者提及的使用真菌物种数量最多。除了在塞尔维亚保存民族真菌学知识外，本研究还可为真菌的进一步药理学研究提供一个良好的起点。
