[8] [9] The mycelium of this species grows secretory cells the protrude outwards and develop branches that produce the substance in small droplets. [8]
Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) [2] are a subset of NTFP; they exclude woodfuel and wood charcoal. Both NWFP and NTFP include wild foods. Worldwide, around 1 billion people depend to some extent on wild foods such as wild meat, edible insects, edible plant products, mushrooms and fish, which often contain high levels of key micronutrients.
