...best definition of the term "mushroom" as applied by mycologists (those who study fungi), mycophiles (those who love fungi), mycophagists (those who eat fungi)...

There does not seem to be a specific word for those who pick mushrooms - they are generally referred to as mushroom-pickers.

This information and site is what I based my question on:

People who collect mushrooms for consumption are known as mycophagists, and the act of collecting them for such is known as mushroom hunting, or simply "mushrooming".
