The highest primary minerals are Potassium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Calcium, and Magnesium. The highest primary minerals are: Zn, Fe, Mn, Mo, Co, Pb The concentrations of K, P, Na, Ca and Me reach 56-70% of total ash with K content reaching 45%. Mineral microelement that is metal in oyster needle low content, so this fungus is safe consumed every day.
