except the usual suspects, doesn't this depend on where they grow? E.g. in Japan also short-lived radio-nucleotides should be present or more present.

...except casandra's that belong to the funniest, most interesting and imaginative (or over-imaginative?) ones, I suppose.

Think hobglobin makes the point. The same macro/microelements Na, K, Ca, Zn, Fe, Mg, Mn, prob some Cu with environment influencing relative levels. For example, I'm aware that some fungi accumulate Ca and K if grown under high saline conditions Environment drives others for example V, Cd, As if present in the imediate environment.
