I totally wouldn't be overly worried about it, but it definitely is something to be aware of imo so i posted it here :) I kind of figured this even before I read it because in general mushrooms tend to do this (I thought anyway)
In reading that, there's no conclusion about some of the metals. Most are good ones for us, and the Cadmium and Cobalt and Mercury, while it accumulates, may not be biologically available to us. This reserach makes statements about bioavailability of some of the metals but not these. It also depends on the soil it was grown in. It makes conclusions about soil accumulation for some metals but not others. It reads as very inconclusive to me.
I totally agree. I was sharing it less because it was a super awesome piece of information and more to point out that heavy metals do accumulate from the soil that mushrooms in general grow in and it is something to be aware of.

All that said heavy metals accumulate in everything that grows in soil that contains them so maybe it is not worth bringing up.

I worry more about poisons like herbicide and pesticide and such.
