Abstract

This article provides an overview of ethnomycology research. It can be divided into linguistic research, which examines the diversity of mushroom names and explains their origins, and research on mushrooming and mushroom traditions, which includes ethnological descriptions of customs, articles on the socio-economic and recreational significance of mushrooming, ethnomedical and ethnopharmacological work, and folklore and mythological studies related to fungi and mushrooming. In summary, ethnomycological work in Lithuania is still scarce, and the field is still awaiting research attention. In particular, there is a lack of comprehensive and coherent works on the significance of mushrooms and mushroom picking in our culture.
