“…In general, Se content of terrestrial saprobes (mostly above 2 ppm) is obviously higher than that of ectomycorrhizal fungi (mostly below 2 ppm). Our results are in essential agreement with most literature (Stijve and Cardinale 1974;Byrne et al 1976;Stijve and Besson 1976;Stijve 1977;Quinche 1980aQuinche , b, 1981Quinche , 1983aQuinche , b, 1987Quinche , 1988aQuinche , b, 1990Piepponen et al 1983Piepponen et al , 1984Lasota and Kalinowski 1985;Vetter 1989Vetter , 2005Mandić et al 1991;Stijve et al 1998;Nikkarinen and Mertanen 2004;Wilburn et al 2004;Cocchi et al 2006;Falandysz and Lipka 2006). Very high Se values in macrofungi reported by Michelot et al (1998) and SiobudDorocant et al (1999) are excessive and dubious.…”

Samples of wild growing ectomycorrhizal and terrestrial saprobic macrofungi (mushrooms) were collected from unpolluted areas and analyzed for their iron, cobalt, zinc and selenium content. Trace elements were determined using long-term instrumental neutron activation analysis. In total, 217 samples, including 87 species of ectomycorrhizal fungi and 43 species of terrestrial saprobes, were examined. Distribution of trace element contents in ectomycorrhizal and saprobic macrofungi was investigated; results are thoroughly compared with previously published data. Doubtful literature data and ability of macrofungi to accumulate/concentrate investigated elements are discussed. Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca was found to concentrate Fe and Russula atropurpurea was confirmed as an effective Zn-accumulating species. Distribution of Se in ectomycorrhizal species was obviously different from that in saprobic species; selenium contents were higher in saprobic species (mostly above 2 ppm).

“…Boletus edulis, Lycoperdon perlatum, Agaricus, Albatrellus pes-caprae are known high selenium accumulating mushroom species (Huerta et al, 2005). According to Stijve and Besson (1976), the mechanism by which some heavy metals are accumulated is somewhat obscure although it seems to be associated with a chelation reaction with the sulphydryl groups of protein and especially with methionine.…”

“…First data on Hg-content of mushrooms were reported in the middle of 1970th. Such data were published in different countries, in Finland (Kuusi, Laaksovirta, Liukkonen-Lilja, Lodenius, & Piepponen, 1981), France (Daillant, 1995;Mornand, 1990), Germany (Seeger, 1977), Italy (Bressa, Cima, & Costa, 1988), Poland (Falandysz et al, 2000), Spain (Zurera, Rincon, Arcos, & Pozo-Lora, 1986;Zurera-Cosano, Rincon-Leon, Moreno-Rojas, Salmeron-Egea, & Pozo-Lora, 1988), Switzerland (Stijve & Besson, 1976), Yugoslavia (Stegnar, Kosta, Byrna, & Ravnik, 1973). According to the review of Kalac and Svoboda (2000) mercury content of the examined wild mushrooms is between 0 and 20 mg/kg DM.…”
