Abstract
Water, dried material, pH, protein, ash, lipid, cellulose, non-cellulose carbohydrate, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, Zn contents of 15 edible and naturally growing mushrooms from Western Black Sea Region of Turkey have been analysed. Both organic and inorganic elements were analysed statistically by Pearson correlation analyse and some statistically meaningful values were obtained among the data obtained. Chemical analysis results also showed that mushrooms have large amount of protein and minerals, but lipid concentration is very low.
