Abstract
Mineral and metal contents of 24 wild mushroom species collected from Anatolia were analysed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Eight minerals (Na, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, P and K) and six metals (Cr, Ni, Ag, Co, Cu and Pb) were studied. The mineral content of mushroom samples ranged 77.1–1061.2 mg/kg for Na, 268.1–1927.9 mg/kg for Mg, 19.3–352.9 mg/kg for Ca, 1.23–75.36 mg/kg for Mn, 27.8–816.1 mg/kg for Fe, 1.61–122.13 mg/kg for Zn, 176.7–5726.4 mg/kg for P and 1133.3–9866.7 mg/kg for K. The metal content ranged 0.03–10.58 mg/kg for Cr, 0.24–48.65 mg/kg for Ni, 0.02–0.63 mg/kg for Ag, 0.02–5.13 mg/kg for Co, 1.10–9.04 mg/kg for Cu and 0.07–8.46 mg/kg for Pb.
