Metal levels (cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, nickel, lead and zinc) of seventeen different edible
wild fungi species (Agaricus campestris, Calocybe gambosa,
Coprinus comatus, Hericium coralloides, Hydnum repandum, H. repandum var. rufescens, Lactarius deliciosus,
L. salminocolor, Macrolepiota procera, Pleurotus ostreatus,
P. ostreatus var. columbinus, Ramaria aurea, R. stricta,
Rhizopogon luteolus, Sparassis crispa, Suillus bovinus,
Tricholoma terreum) growing in Bolu-Turkey were measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrocopy. The obtained data were analyzed with ‘‘statistical
package for the social sciences’’ statistics program. In addition, relation between metal concentrations in both soil and
fungi samples were investigated. The highest metal concentrations in Bolu District, Turkey were measured in A. campestris (cadmium 0.270, chromium 2.735 and zinc 7.683),
C. comatus (iron 160.12), M. procera (copper 15.990, cobalt
0.352 and nickel 3.645), R. luteolus (Pb 4.756) mg/kg dw
(dry weight). As a result of the measurements, it was observed
that metal uptake is related with the species of fungi and is
also affected by pH and organic contents of the soil.
