Magnesium was the abundant mineral found here. The concentration of Mg was relatively high as reported for
Lentinus species viz., Lentinus sajor-caju, Lentinus cladopus and Lentinus squarrosulus. Maximum amount of
potassium and minimum of iron was recorded in Lentinus polychrous Lév. Compared to other species [6].
On the whole, the mushroom studied was found to be a good source of amino acids, fatty acids and minerals.
