Abstract

The capability of any food to alter net endogenous acid or base production can be estimated using the potential renal acid load (PRAL) estimation method. The PRAL of edible mushrooms has been rarely examined; thus a quantification study of n = 37 edible mushroom species was performed. Results revealed a heterogeneous picture: although the most commonly consumed mushrooms (e.g., Agaricus bisporus, Lentinula edodes, and Pleurotus ostreatus (white)) have alkalizing properties, several acidifying species (Volvariella volvacea, Pleurotus flabellatus) were identified, which may be attributable to their high phosphorus content.
