What brain regions/network are involved in disgust recognition? 

 

Like, the ones that make you feel revulsion while touching one's poop or any other similarily disgusting stuff?

Wild ass guess,

Some people like touching poop, and find 'disgusting stuff' interesting. So I think it's more learned behaviour than an actual thing in our brain.

Going of the picture, that would suggest, to me anyway, the Sensory cortex, the Frontal lobe and the Temporal lobe is responsible. 

Complete guess of course.

Disgust is too broad a term. It's a social avoidance mechanism, a pathogen avoidance system, and so much more. If the stimuli comes in through odor, it follows a different path than if it comes in through vision, and if it's an imagined item or something we read about in a book, it follows yet another path.

The question is in the OP is so broad as to be unanswerable.

Can only speak for my brain ...

More and more, it is the same area of the brain that I use to 'read' the News.
