Microbiological Quality of Eight Wild Edible Mushroom Species from Turkey

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the microbiological attributes of 8 wild edible mushrooms (Agrocybe cylindracea, Amanita cecilae, Boletus reticulatus, Coprinus comatus, Cantharellus cibarius, Lactarius deliciosus, Suillus collinitus and Tricholoma myomyces) collected from different parts of Anatolia, Turkey. In order to determine the microbiological and hygienic situation, E.coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, yeast and molds, total mesophilic aerobic bacteria count, total coliforms, lactic acid bacteria, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium botulinum were investigated for mushroom species. According to obtained data, microbiological and hygienic characteristics of wild edible mushrooms are acceptable.
