“…Besides their nutritional values, mushrooms possess medicinal proprieties in prevention of some diseases, such as hypertension and cancer (Manzi et al 2001). Although there were several studies carried out in several countries on metals concentrations in the fruiting bodies of edible wild grown and cultivated mushrooms (Tuzen et al 2007;Sesli et al 2008;Baslar et al 2009;Radulescu et al 2010;Sarikurkcu et al 2011;Zhu et al 2011;Sen et al 2012;Okwulehie and Ogoke 2013;Obodai et al 2014;Dulay et al 2015), however, such studies are still very scarce in Ethiopia. Therefore, initiation of such study for better understanding of the types of mushrooms cultivated and consumed in the country in relation to the essential and non-essential metals is very much demanding and timely.…”

Background: Fruiting bodies of two oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus florida) species and their respective substrate samples cultivated and collected from the Mushroom Research, Production and Training Laboratory of the Haramaya University, Ethiopia, were analyzed for essential and non-essential metals, viz., Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cd and Pb contents by flame atomic absorption spectrometry after digestion employing dry, wet and microwave digestion techniques. Concentrations of the analyzed metals were expressed on a dry weight basis (mg/kg). Results: The mean metal concentration (mg/kg in dry weight) in the mushroom and respective substrate samples, respectively; for Pleurotus ostreatus were: Cu (51.19, 48.97), Fe (220.87, 299.51), Zn (89.68, 62.55) and Mn (47.55, 58.32). The mean metal concentration (mg/kg in dry weight) in mushroom and the respective substrate samples, respectively, for Pleurotus florida were: Cu (53.56, 51.87), Fe (243.92, 265.23), Zn (95.26, 64.25) and Mn (41.29, 62.55). However, Cd and Pb was not detected in both mushroom and substrate samples. The bio-accumulation factor of the heavy metals was calculated and a highest accumulation of Cu and Zn from substrate was observed for all the analyzed mushrooms samples. The observed results were also compared with the reported results.

“…(Celik et al 2005;Baslar et al 2009;Yasar et al 2010). Some toxic elements (Al, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Pb, Hg, Os, Th, Va) affect soil pH and uptake of the nutrients from the soil, which influence growth and development on terrestrial flora (Vitorello et al 2005).…”

Metal levels (cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, nickel, lead and zinc) of seventeen different edible wild fungi species (Agaricus campestris, Calocybe gambosa, Coprinus comatus, Hericium coralloides, Hydnum repandum, H. repandum var. rufescens, Lactarius deliciosus, L. salminocolor, Macrolepiota procera, Pleurotus ostreatus, P. ostreatus var. columbinus, Ramaria aurea, R. stricta, Rhizopogon luteolus, Sparassis crispa, Suillus bovinus, Tricholoma terreum) growing in Bolu-Turkey were measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrocopy. The obtained data were analyzed with ''statistical package for the social sciences'' statistics program. In addition, relation between metal concentrations in both soil and fungi samples were investigated. The highest metal concentrations in Bolu District, Turkey were measured in A. campestris (cadmium 0.270, chromium 2.735 and zinc 7.683), C. comatus (iron 160.12), M. procera (copper 15.990, cobalt 0.352 and nickel 3.645), R. luteolus (Pb 4.756) mg/kg dw (dry weight). As a result of the measurements, it was observed that metal uptake is related with the species of fungi and is also affected by pH and organic contents of the soil.

“…Hence, the area studied is free from the contamination of trace element pollution concerning the trace elements investigated. Baslar et al (2009) Some plant species (such as A. fulvescens, Cupressus sempervirens, Cupressus arizonica, Pinus halepensis) are more convenient for biomonitoring of atmospheric deposition of pollutants (Baycu et al 2006;Kaya and Yaman 2008). The ability of these plants to absorb and accumulate xenobiotics makes them useful as indicators of environmental pollution (Buszewski et al 2000).…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the present levels of atmospheric trace element pollution in the Murat Mountain of Aegean Region in the western part of Turkey. Therefore, 29 different plants were selected as potential biomonitors of trace elements including nickel, zinc, iron, lead, cadmium and manganese (lg/g, dry weight). The samples were collected from two different heights of Murat Mountain. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to determine the concentrations of trace elements. The mean concentrations determined at 1,000 m altitude ranged from 0.139 to 4.518, 0.223 to 0.986, 0.359 to 6.930, 0.443 to 0.727 and 0.077 to 3.222 lg/g, dry weight, for nickel, zinc, iron, lead and manganese, respectively. At 1,600 m altitude, the values ranged from 0.191 to 6.248, 0.302 to 1.008, 2.387 to 8.896, 0.345 to 0.570 and 0.195 to 3.502 lg/g, dry weight, for nickel, zinc, iron, lead and manganese, respectively. No cadmium was found at both altitudes. For determination of existence of any differences between the averages of the herbaceous and woody plants, comparisons were made by the independent sample t test. In the statistical analysis, comparison of trace element pollution values of herbaceous and woody plants for nickel, lead and manganese was significant (P \ 0.05), while it was not for iron and zinc.
