Abstract

The consumptions of wild-growing edible mushrooms as a component of healthy human diet and they contain basic nutrients, high proteins, vitamins as well as minerals required for human growth and development. Because levels of essential elements especially copper are very important but are able to accumulate various toxic metals, this could represent a serious risk to consumer health. For instance, many people collect wild edible mushrooms in Turkey substantially contributing to food intake. They have also been reported to have medicinal properties. Some mushrooms have immunomodulatory, anticarcinogenic and anti-mutagenic properties and is still in use as a healthy food for the prevention of cancer. The heavy metals accumulation in macrofungi has been found to be affected by various factors including environmental. Environmental factors contain pH, amount of organic matter, soil metal concentrations, and fungal factors including mushroom species, development stages and biochemical composition. Copper is present in all tissues and is required for cellular respiration along with it is essential element in mammalian nutrition. Also Cu plays a vital role in central nervous system development and is a cofactor for countless enzymes. Serious damage can occur in case of excessive Cu intake to body, when it is not taken in sufficient quantity may result in incomplete development. In this study four wild mushrooms species as Agaricus campestris, Langermannia gigantea, Pleurotus eryngii var. eryngii, Pleurotus eryngii var. ferulae that collected from three different region of Tunceli were analyzed. Copper analysis was done using ETAAS and results were evaluated statistically by SPSS. When evaluated in terms of species Cu concentrations were similar statistically in Agaricus campestris and Langermannia gigantea, Pleurotus eryngii var. eryngii and Pleurotus eryngii var. ferulae. When evaluated from the point of view of the region, there is no difference in terms of copper concentrations in the regions. Recent Publications 1.
