“…[24] Copper presents the highest concentration (99.1 mg/kg) for Nectria cinnabarina and the lowest (12.7 mg/kg) for Lepiota cristata. Kalač and Svoboda [4] reported that Cu concentrations in the accumulating species are usually 100-300 mg/kg dry matters, which is not considered a health risk. Cu level of several mushroom species was in agreement with those found in literature.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Therefore, mushroom has been used as a good bioindicator by various researchers to determine the environmental pollution. On the other hand, wild edible mushrooms are becoming increasingly important in our diet for their nutritional and pharmacological characteristics.…”

“…The consumption of wild edible mushrooms has been increasing, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, in which the average annual consumption may exceed 10 kg for some individuals due to a good content of proteins as well as a higher content of trace minerals. [3][4] Turkey consumes significantly fewer wild growing mushrooms than those from European countries, Russia, North America and Japan. However, Turkey has a large edible mushroom potential and is becoming an important exporter of wild edible mushrooms.…”

The elemental concentration of K, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Sn, Br, Sr, Ti, Rb, As, Th, an U in eleven wild growing mushroom species collected from various regions of Turkey were determined by using non-destructive nuclear analytical techniques like tube-excited energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and gamma ray spectroscopic measurements. The highest element concentrations for K, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Sn, Br, Sr, Ti, Rb, As, Th, and U were 50977 ± 3982, 2971 ± 749, 99.1 ± 5.5, 71.3 ± 49.1, 266 ± 109, 5.6 ± 0.1, 3.08 ± 0.91, 3.6 ± 0.7, 1.6 ± 0.1, 27.2 ± 19.7, 19.9 ± 2.1, 602. ± 166, 72.4 ± 24.5, 3.7 ± 0.7, 1.8 ± 0.9 and 0.42 ± 0.13 mg/kg dry mass, respectively.

“…This is due to the difference between species, to their behavior (parasitic, saprophytic, or mycorrhizal) and to the environmental contamination, but it has not always been possible to decide on bioaccumulation or bioexclusion only for these reasons. Many species of mushrooms possess the ability to effectively take up and accumulate heavy metals [2][3][4][5] .…”

Bioaccumulation of Cadmium Content in Mushroom and Soil in Delhi-NCR Region of India

2013

This study was carried to estimate the distribution and accumulation of cadmium in wildly grown edible mushroom and its underlying soil from surrounding areas of Delhi-NCR. Samples were collected from regions polluted with industrial drainage and heavy traffic. Cadmium accumulations in these were compared with that of wildly grown mushroom collected from non polluted cultivated and remote residential areas of Delhi. Commercial samples of mushroom were also collected and analyzed. All these study was conducted on four different varieties of mushroom i.e. Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju), Milky mushroom (Calocybe indica) and Shiitake (Lentinus edodes). The levels of cadmium were analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The results from the two way ANOVA showed that there was significant variation in trace metal concentrations at different locations. From correlation analysis it was found trace metals concentration in soil and mushroom samples were positively correlated.

Cadmium determination in Lentinus edodes mushroom species

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Many studies have drawn attention to the occurrence and concentration of toxic elements found in the fruiting body of mushrooms. Some edible mushroom species are known to accumulate high levels of inorganic contaminants, mainly cadmium, mercury, and lead. There are about 2,000 known edible mushroom species, but only 25 of them are cultivated and used as food. In Brazil, the most marketed and consumed mushroom species are Agaricus bisporus, known as Paris champignon, Lentinus edodes, or Shitake and Pleurotus sp, also called Shimeji or Hiratake. In this study, the concentration of cadmium was determined in Lentinus edodes mushrooms from different cities in São Paulo state and some samples imported from Japan and China. The analyses were performed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after HNO3-H2O2 digestion. The results showed a lower concentration of Cd in the mushrooms cultivated in São Paulo (0.0079 to 0.023 mg.kg-1 in natura) than that of the mushrooms cultivated abroad (0.125 to 0.212 mg.kg-1 in natura). Although there is no tolerance limit for Cd in mushrooms in Brazil, the results show that Lentinus edodes mushrooms can be safely consumed.
