The aim of this study was to identify some wild edible and medicine species at two states of Sudan and determine its chemical composition and document traditional culture of wild mushrooms uses in some tribes of Sudan. The screening provided fourteen wild species. Six selected edible and medicinal species were further subjected to chemical analysis to determinate their moisture content, protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, fiber and macro elements (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus). At Khartoum state three of mushrooms classified as edible or of medicinal value namely Agaricus bisporus, Ganoderma lucidum and Podaxis pistillaris. At sinner state two mushrooms considered edible namely; Agaricus bisporus and Pluteus umbrosus var. albus and three considered of medicinal value, namely Ganoderma lucidum, Podaxis pistillaris and Grifola frondosa and fungi was identified of dual function Calvatia cyathiformis. The result show that Agaricus bisporus recorded a highest value of moisture, fat, ash and calcium, Calvatia cyathiformis recorded a highest value of protein, Grifola frondosa recorded a highest value of carbohydrate, Ganoderma lucidum recorded a highest value of fiber, Pluteus umbrosus var. albus recorded a highest value of potassium, Podaxis pistillaris recorded a highest value of sodium, phosphorus and magnesium.
