TL;DR: The highest metal concentrations were measured as 4.91, 3.48, 0.26, and 0.37 mg/kg (dry weight basis) for Pb, Cd, Hg, Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, Co, As, Ca, Na, K, Mg, Ba, Ni, Ti, Cr, Al, Bi, Sb, and Ag as discussed by the authors.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the consumption of these mushrooms cannot be considered a toxicological risk, and they provide an important nutritional requirement to the diet.
Abstract: Copper and zinc contents have been determined in up to 28 species of edible mushrooms from different sites in the province of Lugo (NW Spain) Two hundred thirty-eight collected samples were analyzed by an anodic stripping voltammetric technique using a drop mercury as the working electrode The results showed that the element concentrations were species-dependent, and the highest metal levels corresponded to the following species: Calvatia utriformis (2355 mg Cu/kg), Macrolepiota procera (2178 mg Cu/kg), and Agaricus macrosporus (2177 mg Cu/kg) and Calvatia utriformis (2658 mg Zn/kg), Lactarius delicious (2310 mg Zn/kg), and Agaricus macrosporus (2213 mg Zn/kg) for Cu and Zn, respectively All mushroom species bioaccumulated copper and zinc Nevertheless, some individual samples of the species, such as Hydnum repandum, Cantharellus cibarius, and Coprinus comatus, were bioexclusors (BCF < 1) The hymenophore in mushrooms showed higher mean metal levels than the rest of the fruit bodies, with statistically significant differences The copper and zinc concentrations were compared to literature data and levels set by legislation It can be concluded that the consumption of these mushrooms cannot be considered a toxicological risk, and they provide an important nutritional requirement to the diet
TL;DR: The review deals mainly with the situation in Europe where wild-growing mushrooms are widely consumed as a delicacy and some species have been found to be extensively contaminated by radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
