| description | The cultural significance of an organism is determined by its value to a group of individuals. In the case of fungi, it has been evaluated using precise indicators that allow comparing ethnomycological knowledge between communities. In Colombia, ethnomycological knowledge is sheltered by peasant and indigenous communities and it is estimated that 70 species are consumed. In this work, the cultural importance of wild edible mushrooms (EMCSI) in four municipalities of Boyacá (San Mateo, Miraflores, Togüí and Pauna) was estimated. Mushrooms are used for food and rarely for medicine; of a total of 20 reported species, the local use of 12 species is evidenced. The fungi with the highest EMCSI were Crepidotus palmarum, Auricularia fuscosuccinea, Ramaria spp., Agaricus aff. trinitatensis and Pleurotus sp.1. The cultural variables that describe traditional knowledge include eight of those considered in the EMCSI, except for the economic index. This work builds a relationship of knowledge in a dynamic way; Community participation involves an exchange of knowledge that should be reflected in the conservation of forests, the appropriation of this provisioning ecosystem service, and the strengthening of interest in traditional knowledge among young people and children. |

La importancia cultural de un organismo está determinada por su valor para un grupo de individuos. En el caso de los hongos, se ha evaluado utilizando indicadores precisos que permiten comparar el conocimiento etnomicológico entre comunidades. En Colombia el conocimiento etnomicológico es cobijado por las comunidades campesinas e indígenas y se estima que 70 especies son consumidas. En este trabajo se estimó la importancia cultural de los hongos silvestres comestibles (EMCSI) en cuatro municipios de Boyacá (San Mateo, Miraflores, Togüí y Pauna). Los hongos se utilizan como alimento y raramente como medicina; de un total de 20 especies reportadas, se evidencia el uso local de 12 especies. Los hongos con mayor EMCSI fueron Crepidotus palmarum, Auricularia fuscosuccinea, Ramaria spp., Agaricus aff. trinitatensis y Pleurotus sp.1. Las variables culturales que describen el conocimiento tradicional incluyen ocho de las consideradas en el EMCSI, a excepción del índice económico. Este trabajo construye una relación de conocimiento de forma dinámica; la participación de la comunidad involucra un intercambio de saberes que debe verse reflejado en la conservación de los bosques, la apropiación de este servicio ecosistémico de provisión y el fortalecimiento del interés por el conocimiento tradicional en los jóvenes y niños.
