Content of Minerals and Trace Elements Determined by ICP-MS in Eleven Mushroom Species from Anatolia, Turkey

Abstract

The mineral and trace element content of 11 mushroom species; namely, Fomes fomentarius, Funalia trogii, Ganoderma adspersum, Ganoderma applanatum, Ganoderma lucidum, Gyromitra esculenta, Lyophyllum decastes, Pleurotus ostreotus, Rhizopogon luteolus, Russuladelica, Tricholoma fracticum from Anatolia were analyzed by ICP-MS. 3 major minerals (Na, Mg, Ca) and 15 trace elements (V, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ga, Se, Al, Cr, Ni, As, Sr, Co, Cu, Tl, Pb) were studied comprehensively. The minerals and trace elements (mg/kg) were ranged as follows: Na 66.9-436., Mg 167.3-988, Ca 24.7-296.3, V 0.06-0.94, Mn 1.89-76.5, Fe 19.2-383.1, Zn 6.6-49.6, Ga 0.24-3.36, Se 0.01-0.28, Al 18.01-2382, Cr 0.08-0.66, Ni 0.25-5.71, As 0.23-0.96, Sr 2.03-14.70, Co 0.02-1.49, Cu 0.14-8.46, Tl 0.01-0.17 and Pb 0.10-1.80.
