In
Latvian mythology,
Senu mate ("mother of
mushrooms") was the
mate who presided over mushrooms and mushroom hunting, which was integral part of the lives of the ancient
Latvians, and still is. Some Latvians say prayers (badly corrupted by time) or perform other rituals originally associated with Senu mate, when they go mushroom hunting.
