Archaeological Evidence Of Mushroom Usage In African Continent 

Mushrooms spread in wide area in Africa and Middle East. The most common types of mushrooms belong to Agaricus and Pleurotus sp.


Archaeological Evidence Of Mushroom

The oldest archaeological evidence of apparent mushroom use in the African continent can be seen in the Tassili images discovered in rock cave paintings in Algeria, dated at least 5000 B.C.

The dancer is about 80 cm in height with the mask and stance typical of that historical period of rock paintings. 

The dancer is probably a shaman and the repetitive mushroom symbols hallucinogenic mushrooms.



In Europe, an effigy of a mushroom, not unlike Amanita, inserted in a scene with shamanistic connotations, has been found in a rock engraving of Mount Bego, France, dating back to 1800 B.C. Further important archaeoethnomycological documentation is to be found in ancient Greek culture.
