Abstract :The aim of this study is to determine the mineral contents of wild edible mushrooms. The potassium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K);, magnesium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mg);, calcium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ca);, manganese insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mn);, iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe);, zinc insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zn);, copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cu);, nickel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ni);, cadmium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cd); and lead insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pb); contents of twenty four edible mushrooms, collected from East Black Sea Region, Türkiye, were analyzed. The studied mushrooms varied widely in their content of both essential and toxic deleterious elements. The minimum and maximum mineral contents of mushrooms were determined as mg/kg dw for K insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4573-15645);, Mg insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(173-1421);, Ca insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(24-711);, Mn insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.34-90.64);, Fe insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.78-236.95);, Zn insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(24.81-119.03);, Cu insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(11.02-174.01);, Ni insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.95-2.86);, Cd insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.05-22.57); and Pb insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.01-2.07);. The potassium content was found to be higher than those of the other minerals in all the mushrooms. In addition to the metal contents, the daily intakes of metal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DIM); and Health Risk Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HRI); values of edible mushrooms were also calculated. Lead and cadmium were present but at concentrations that are not hazardous to human health except for Russula vinosa. The K, Mg, Zn, and Ni concentrations were determined to be high in Russula integra. Mushrooms have become increasingly attractive as functional foods for their potential beneficial effects on human health. Due to the toxic minerals they carry, mushrooms should be taken into consideration during their consumption as human food. The differences and similarities between mineral contents were established by Principal Component Analysis. Also, mushrooms are important in the ecosystem because they are able to biodegrade the substrate and to collect heavy metal.
