The nutritional quality of Macrolepiota dolichaula (strain MFLUCC 13-0579) grown in orchard soils was investigated. Proximate analysis showed M. dolichaula fruiting bodies to contain 27% protein, 38% carbohydrates, 15% fiber, 2% lipid, 10% ash and 8% moisture. The energy value was calculated as 286 KJ per 100 g dry weight of mushroom. The content of seven essential minerals in this mushroom, as well as top soils (0–5 cm) below the mushrooms were explored. In addition, the bioaccumulation potential of minerals in the fruiting bodies were calculated as a ratio between the mineral concentration in the mushrooms and the soil concentration were studied. Mineral contents were Fe (15.94 in mushrooms; 5.77 in soil), Na (5.83; 2.78), Cu (1.94; 0.64), Zn (1.69; 0.99) and Mg (0.99; 0.61), Mn (0.81; 2.21) and Ca (0.34; 14.58) for mg/100 g dry weight. The bioconcentration factors (BCF), showed that this mushroom is efficient in the absorption of Fe, Na, Zn and Mg which are low in soils (BCF > 1), while Ca, and Mn are poorly absorbed in its fruiting bodies, although the Ca and Mn contents in soils were high (BCF < 1). Based on this study, it can be concluded that M. dolichaula is a good dietary source of essential nutrients and minerals which are found within the acceptable limits for human consumption.
