Mineral Composition of Four Edible Mushrooms

Table 3

Toxic metal concentrations (mg/100 g on dry weight basis) in four species of mushrooms.

Metals	Lentinula edodes	Lentinus cladopus	Pleurotus florida	Pleurotus djamor
Nickel	0.15±0.03	0.09±0.03	0.07±0.04	0.15±0.04
Lead	BDL^a	BDL^a	0.092±0.002	0.12±0.07
Cadmium	BDL^a	BDL^a	BDL^a	BDL^a

Each value is the mean of three replicate determinations ± standard deviation.
^aBDL: Below detectable level.
