The present study was conducted near Lubumbashi (Congo Dem. Rep. formerly Zaire) which is situated in the Zambezian region. Harvesting of sporophores and conducting inquiries amongst the villagers allowed to record 39 taxa of edible mushrooms. For each specimen, vernacular names are noted and ecological data are presented. The phenological sequence for 26 of these fungi is also proposed for the region. Lastly, the food value of 9 commonly consumed species is evaluated on the basis of their amino acids and mineral compositions.
