Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus). [PDF]
Am J PrimatolFree‐ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa, of multiple age/sex classes eat diverse fungi (10 identified to species level, 3 to genus level). We assess potential nutritional, medicinal and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature.
