Michael Pollan talks about this in a few of his books. Some cultures are more mycophobic (USA), and some are more mycophilic (Russians, I would say Chinese as well). I think you can attribute some of it to whether there are many poisonous mushrooms in that culture's land area!
Knowing your local species is super important. Apparently lots of poisoning cases in the (western?) US is because one of the toxic species looks a lot like an edible species in Asia.
