AB Food reflects a place's cultural identity, and restaurants play a key role in presenting that image to a foreign audience. Therefore, it is essential to create menu translations that accurately reflect the cultural image of the country and are comprehensible to visitors. Realia is vital in both language and the transmission of cultural legacy; however, translating it is an arduous task due to their cultural connotations. Although realia and its significance have been widely studied, none of the multiple published articles regarding food realia have focused on mycological realia. Hence, the present study analyses mycological realia present in food menus, using a corpus of mycological menus translated from Spanish into English. The strategies used for translating these terms were identified, and a detailed analysis of the data obtained from the corpus was conducted. Finally, a bilingual glossary of mycological terms is proposed, to improve the quality of food menus.
