Since conventional sampling methods are time and resource intensive, alternatives providing reliable ecological information could be useful for assessments of fungal management. Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) can be used as a sampling alternative in a cost-effective manner. Thus, in this paper we aim to: (1) illustrate how GPS-recorded information on mushroom gatherers' pathways can be used to describe fungal diversity and distribution patterns, and (2) outline a TEK-monitoring proposal that can provide communities and researchers with high-quality ecological data on edible mushrooms. Using information from 32 trips (55 GPS-tracked pathways) we were able to describe the frequency, abundance, diversity and spatial distribution of edible fungi at different sites. We recorded the collection of 6,905 sporocarps, representing 20 species and 6 genera, which were collected or identified at 2,683 locations. In addition to collections, we suggest consistent recording of fungal encounters defined as memory, exploration, traces, and failed collection, as these also provide ecological information. The most gathered species, Turbinellus floccosus and Clitocybe gibba, were also among the mushrooms most frequently listed by local people. Finally, we propose combining our GPS-tracking method with a thorough TEK investigation and participatory research in order to develop adaptive co-management strategies that allow local people to manage and conserve their forests through the integration of traditional and scientific knowledge.
