“…Attention has been directed to selected or all detectable elements in fruiting bodies, depending on the site of their collection, species, and availability [6,7]. These studies have also included the analysis of both cultivated and wild-growing mushroom species, the latter being divided into woodgrowing and aboveground species [8,9].…”

The multi-elemental composition of 4 edible wild-growing mushroom species that commonly occur in Polish forests was compared to 13 cultivated mushroom species available in trade. A considerable variation in the macroelements content was revealed with cultivated species containing higher amounts of macroelements. The mean content of B, Co, Cr, Fe, Pb, Pr, Pt, Sb, Sm, Sr, Te, and Tm was higher in cultivated mushroom species, while the opposite was noted for Ba, Cd, Cu, Hg, La, Mo, Sc, and Zn. Selected cultivated forms exhibited increased content of Al (F. velutipes), As (H. marmoreus, F. velutipes), Ni (P. ostreatus, A. polytricha, H. marmoreus), and Pb (P. ostreatus, A. polytricha, F. velupites, and L. edodes). Wild-growing species, B. boletus, I. badia, and S. bovinus contained high Hg levels, close to or exceeding tolerable intakes. Compared to cultivated mushrooms, they also generally revealed a significantly increased content of Al (with the highest content in B. edulis and I. badia), As and Cd (with the highest content in B. edulis and S. bovinus in both cases). In turn, the cultivated mushrooms were characterized by a higher content of Ni (particularly in A. bisporus) and Pb (with the highest content in P. eryngii). The exposure risks may, however, differ between wild and cultivated mushrooms since the former are consumed seasonally (although in some regions at a high level), while the latter are available throughout the year. Both cultivated and wild-growing mushrooms were found to be a poor source of Ca and Mg, and only a supplemental source of K, Cu, Fe, and Zn in the human diet. These results suggest that mushrooms collected from the wild or cultivated, should be consumed sparingly. The study advocates for more strict monitoring measures of the content of toxic metals/metalloids in mushrooms distributed as food, preferentially through the establishment of maximum allowance levels not limited only to a few elements and mushroom species.

“…In the literature, there are many studies on the toxic element content of mushroom species growing in unpolluted areas (Campos et al 2009;Doĝan et al 2006;Konuk et al 2007;Ouzouni et al 2009;Radulescu et al 2010). For this reason, it is important to verify that wild edible mushroom species obtained from urban areas and areas close to these locations are at a level that can be safely consumed with respect to toxic elements before being used as food (Kokkoris et al 2019).…”

Mushrooms are rich sources of organic nutrients (especially proteins). However, they can excessively accumulate metals in their fruiting bodies that pose a risk to human health. The aim of this study was the determination of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn contents, daily intake, and health risk index values of some mushroom species collected from the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey (Arsin, Trabzon). The samples were collected from hazelnut gardens that are free from industrial pollution and have a low population density. As a result of elemental analysis, it was determined that the concentration ranges of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the mushrooms were as follows

Hongos macroscópicos como bioacumuladores de metales pesados

A través de los años, el vínculo entre los hongos y el hombre ha generado diferentes intereses en función de su uso medicinal, comercial y alimenticio. La estrecha relación que mantienen los hongos macroscópicos con el suelo los convierte en organismos con alto potencial para la biodegradación de materia orgánica, la captación de nutrientes y la absorción de sustancias peligrosas como son los metales pesados, muchos de ellos de interés toxicológico. Es debido a los multiples reportes sobre la capacidad de bioacumulación de contaminantes en los hongos macroscópicos, que los beneficios que estos organismos confieren al ser humano podrían estar acompañados de efectos colaterales sobre la salud. Está revisión bibliográfica nos permitió observar que la investigación enfocada en la capacidad de bioacumulación a nivel internacional es amplia, mientras que, a nivel nacional es escasa; por otra parte, la enfocada en el impacto a la salud es escasa a nivel internacional y nula a nivel nacional.
