“…In these studies, mushrooms have been used as bioindicators for determination of toxic element levels such as cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic, and radionuclides [1][2][3][4][5]. In addition, numerous studies have been carried out using mushrooms in different provinces of Turkey [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

In this study, concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn) were determined in three edible mushroom species (Lactarius deliciosus, Russula delica, and Rhizopogon roseolus) collected in five sampling sites in Canakkale province, Turkey. Mean values of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn were 0.72, 0.26, 28.34, 1.53, and 64.62 mg/kg, respectively. The highest concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were determined in species R. delica, while Cr was observed in L. deliciosus. In terms of the nutritional aspect, taking into account the concentration of Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake recommended by FAO/WHO, the maximum concentration of Cd is a restrictive factor for consumption of the collected mushroom species. The concentrations of the other elements have no health risks when consumed at optimal levels.

“…In the second study, further samples were collected as part of the European Commission (EC) SAVE project (No. F14PCT950015) in autumn 1997 and spring 1998; species targeted were spring fruiting and those that had showed higher levels of 137 Cs accumulation in the Barnett et al (1999) study.…”

“…In the first study samples of the most frequently eaten (as identified in a survey by Barnett et al, 1999) autumn and spring fruiting fungi species were sampled throughout Great Britain between spring 1995 and spring 1996 to assess radiocaesium contamination levels and geographical variation (Barnett et al, 1999). The data set contains information from fruiting species where, in most cases, soil samples were also collected from the same location as the fruiting bodies.…”

“…development and testing of predictive models (Gillett et al, 2001;Wright et al, 2003), estimation of the intake of radiocaesium by consumers of wild fungi (Barnett et al, 1999), understanding of the behaviour of radiocaesium in upland farming systems (Beresford et al, 2007)) they have never been published in their entirety and in many instances not even summaries were made available in the open literature. In this paper we present a description of the postChernobyl data collected by ITE/CEH which have now been made openly available (Chaplow et al, 2015).…”

Abstract. The data set "Post Chernobyl surveys of radiocaesium in soil, vegetation, wildlife and fungi in Great Britain" was developed to enable data collected by the Natural Environment Research Council after the Chernobyl accident to be made publicly available. Data for samples collected between May 1986 (immediately after Chernobyl) to spring 1997 are presented. Additional data to radiocaesium concentrations are presented where available. The data have value in trying to assess the contribution of new sources of radiocaesium in the environment, providing baseline data for future planned releases and to aid the development and testing of models.

“…Extrapolating the results of a survey carried out by Barnett et al (1999), the average intake rate could be 0.12 kg of fresh weight per person per year, and in most cases only one species is consumed, generally Agaricus campestris. Another survey by Byrom et al (1995) reported that only 37.3% of adults consumed fungi (cultivated and wild species) throughout the UK.…”
