Mineral Composition and Radioactivity effects on Edible Mushrooms is the definitive reference guide that collects and collates all the recent very dispersed data and information on mushroom mineral elements and radioactivity. The book deals with the overall outline of the mineral composition, including chemistry, biochemistry and mycogeochemistry, losses of minerals during mushroom preservation and cooking, health implications and major essential elements. It also brings the essential trace elements. There is a section dedicated to radioactivity, natural radionuclides and anthropogenic radionuclides, besides the author includes the lessons learned after the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters concerning mushroom radioactivity.
