The book deals with the overall outline of the major and trace mineral elements of many both wild growing and cultivated mushroom species, including chemistry, biochemistry and environmental context, losses of minerals during mushroom preservation and cooking, and nutritional and health implications. This monography also includes a chapter on natural and anthropogenic radionuclides, along with the lessons learned after the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters concerning mushroom radioactivity.
- Thoroughly explores factors affecting accumulation and distribution of numerous major and trace mineral elements within fruiting bodies,
- Brings the overall information on sources and levels of natural and artificial radioactivity of mushrooms.
Researchers dealing with contaminant concentration in mushrooms, environmental and food scientists, food authorities, food chemists, mycologists and representatives of commercial sphere (producers, technologists and traders of cultivated mushrooms)
