Mineral composition of three medical beech mushrooms from Serbia
The goal of this research was to analyze the mineral composition of three types of mushrooms growing on beech trees.Differences in macro and microelement content, as well as potentially toxic elements, vary depending on origin, external influences, anthropogenic activities, and soil element concentrations.The research utilized dried samples of three mushrooms-Fomes fomentarius, Ganoderma lucidum, and Trametes versicolor-prepared through microwave digestion with mineral acid mixtures.The ICP-OES method determined the presence of 20 elements in the mushroom fruiting body.The results suggest the safe application of these medicinal mushrooms from Serbia, known for their antioxidant and anticancer effects, in medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
