Changes in the microelement content of some cultivated and wild mushrooms

Trials and measurements included 26 elements in different mushroom species. It appeared that mushrooms differed in the quantity of elements which are generally characteristic for green plants. The observation is affirmed by literary data and could also be explained by the special position of mushrooms in taxonomy. Cultivated mushrooms are much poorer in almost all the elements studied than the wild forms. From a nutritional point of view this phenomenon means an advantage in case of toxic elements but just the contrary in respect of essential elements. The higher microelement content of wild species deserves attention from the point of view of the daily microelement introduction by nutrients.
