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.

“…Edible Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus tuber-regium) from the family of Pleurotaceae, contains high concentrations of nutritional trace elements and mineral constituents in human diets, helps in growth and tissue repair in the body of humans [1]. It represents part of natural forest ecosystems and plays an important role in the cyclic pathways of elements and organic matter [2].…”

“…There are many factors that influence the presence of metals in mushrooms, for example climate, environmental conditions and concentration of macromolecules in the cell wall of each specific species [9]. Under natural conditions, the concentration of heavy metals in certain species of Oyster mushrooms can be higher even if the soil contamination level is low [1]. The highest concentrations of trace elements are mostly found in the hemosphere, lower values are in the spores and the lowest values are in the stem [10,11].…”

Oyster mushroom Pleurotus tuberregium (Fr.)(Sing), Ǫsu, is a common mushroom which is used as food or medicine, more commonly as a soup thickener. This study investigated the presence of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu) in wild samples of Pleurotus tuberregium sclerotia consumed within Imo state. The oyster mushrooms purchased from different markets from Imo State were mineralized with H 2 SO 4 and HNO 3 and analyzed using flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) Thermo Scientific model. The mean concentrations of Pb: 0.13 mg/kg (ranged 0.04±0.005mg/kg to 0.35±0.005mg/kg), Zn: 1.26mg/kg (ranged from 0.03 ± 0.007 mg/kg to 3.25 ± 0.01 mg/kg) and Ni and Cu were 0.0001mg/kg, 0.164mg/kg, respectively. These results were compared with the data from literature and levels set by regulatory authorities, with the conclusion that the consumption of oyster mushroom sclerotium does not pose a toxicological risk. The Zn, Pb, Ni and Cu content of the studied products would contribute to only about 7.4%, 30.3%, 0.001% and 1.91%, respectively of the provisional tolerable weekly intake of Zn, Pb, Ni and Cu. The Cu and Zn contents would contribute to nutritional intake of the metal in the general population. It is recommended that the outer layers of the sclerotia be properly scrapped and washed before use to reduce air-borne metal contamination.

“…Thus the role of fruit body age and size is of less importance owing to the limited proportion of contaminants originating from atmospheric depositions. However, this role may increase in some wood-growing species that have a longer lifespan than is usual in aboveground species [16][17][18][23][24][25]28,29]. Mushrooms not only accumulate elements from underlying substrate but also from host trees depending on the specificity of species.…”
