Abstract
In this study, bioaccumulation of lead in wildly growing edible mushroom and its underlying soil near the industrial drainage and heavy traffic area was investigated during monsoon. These accumulations were compared with the cultivated and remote residential area. Commercial samples were also collected during monsoon. Four different varieties of mushroom Button mushroom (Agaricusbisporus), Oyster mushroom (Pleurotussajor-caju), Milky mushroom (Calocybeindica)and Shiitake (Lentinusedodes) along with and its top soil samples were collected and the levels of Pb was analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. From the two way ANOVA, it was found there was significant variation in Lead concentrations at different locations and from correlation analysis Lead concentration in soil and mushroom samples were positively correlated.
