Lamadrid Photographs by Miguel Gandert or over four centuries, the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (Royal Road F ofthe Interior) served as the passageway for people, politics, and trade, linking New Mexico with Mexico and the rest of the world.zAs the oldest continually used historical route in North America, much of the initial re­ search on the Camino Real has concentrated on military history, commerce, technology, missions, and genealogy.3 On this foundation, the more elusive contours ofcultural history can be traced through the intangible heritage of the Camino Real. 4 During the early colonial period, the Spanish established missionary projects to convert the local Natives as New Spain expanded into the northlands. This legacy of intercultural spirituality still inspires the peoples ofa vast region now crossed by an international boundary.

EDIBLE MUSHROOMS MARTHA GONZALEZ ELIZONDO Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigacion para el Desarrollo Integral Regional IPN-Unidad Durango Apdo. Postal 738 Durango, Dgo. C.P. 34000 Mexico ABSTRACT.-The Southern Tepehuan is an indigenous group living in the southern part of Durango State and the northern part of Nayarit State in North­ west Mexico. Gathering is still a very important traditional practice among them; in particular reharvestable edible mushrooms are in great demand during the rainy season when they represent an important dietary complement for the people. This paper describes the Tepehuan group, their environment, and how they know and use at least fourteen species of edible fungi. Comments are made with regard to some other edible species of fungi found in the area during the field work as well as to Tepehuan knowledge of poisonous fungi. RESUMEN.-Los Tepehuanes del sur son un grupo etnico que habita en el sur del Estado de Durango y en el norte del Estado de Nayarit, en el noroeste de Mexico. La recoleccion es una practica tradicional entre los tepehuanes; los hongos silvestres comestibles, en particular, tienen una gran demanda durante la epoca de lluvias, cuando representan un complemento importante en la dieta de esta gente. En este trabajo se hace una semblanza del grupo tepehuano y de su medio ambiente, y se describe como utilizan cuando menos catorce especies de hongos silvestres comestibles. Se hacen comentarios acerca de algunas otras especies comestibles encontradas en el area durante el trabajo de campo y acerca del conocimiento que los tepehuanes tienen de los hongos venenosos.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2005 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks. Copyright Information Publications of the New Mexico Geological Society, printed and electronic, are protected by the copyright laws of the United States.
