The sponge mushroom (morels), chanterelles, oyster mushroom, Macrolepiota procera, Amanita caesarea and Russula paludosa are the main edible wild mushrooms in northern Iran. Little is known about commercial potential of these mushrooms in this area. In this research we found three genuses of morels including Morchella esculenta, M. delisiosa and M. crassipes. Pleurotus ostreatus grows in all season in mountain regions. The nutritive value of edible wild mushrooms (cantharellus cibarius, pleurotus osteriatus, Macrolepiota procera, Amanita caesarea and Russula paludosa) was determined. The highest mineral contents, dry matter and ash were measured as 8.5, 31.7, 1.4, 1.4, 1.8 mg/kg (dry weight basis), 14% and 2% for P, K, Na, Ca, Mg, dry matter and ash in young Macrolepiota procera cap, mature Amanita caesarea cap, mature Amanita caesarea cap, young Macrolepiota procera cap, young Macrolepiota procera cap, mature A. caesarea stalk and mature Macrolepiota procera stalk respectively.
