A .qual,)titative ecological study on the wild edible mushroom production,
in the mountain Cofre de Perote, State of Veracruz, carried out in
Pinus and Pinus-A bies forests is presented. 33 species of edible fungi
were studied. Sampling was done during 1983, based on two permlm.ent
squares of 100 m2 (10 x 10 m) in each vegetation type. The results were
extrapolated to one hectare (ha). The total estimated production of
mushrooms in the Pinus forest was of 14 ,850 fruiting bodies/ha/year
and I, 758.86 Kg. fresh weight/ha/year. In the Pinus-Abies forest the total
estimated production of fruiting bodies was of 19 ,900/ha/year and 747.16
kg fresh weight/ha/ year. The major production of fruiting bodies was observed
between July.December, however, the maximun yield was presented
on September. The phenology of fruiting body production was analy
zed determining the seasonal production for each species, taking into
account the maximun and. minimum temperature, as well as the rainfall.
The edible mushrooms production is proposed as an alternative for tile
rural development of the people in the forest regions of Mexico.
