“…These decreased in Armillaria mellea, Boletus edulis, Laccaria amethistina, Suillus bovinus, Suillus luteus and Tricholoma equestre in the order Ce > La/Nd > Pr > Sm/ Gd > Dy/Er/Yb > Ho > Eu/Tb > Tb/Lu and occurred at levels from sub-to low parts per billion [ppb; µg kg −1 dry weight (dw)] (Falandysz et al 2001). This order and concentration levels of REE were the same as that reported and mixed-humic-eluvial and humic-eluvial-illuvial (adapted from Dołęgowska and Migaszewski, 2013) in a set of other wild mushroom species collected from Poland, Belarus and Yunnan (China) around 25 years later and analysed after pre-concentration and matrixseparation before spectrometric measurement (Mędyk and Falandysz 2022).…”

La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu are lanthanides, also referred to as “rare earth” elements (occurring at ultra-low concentration, i.e. each, at ppb or lower levels) in plant and animal foods including edible wild mushrooms. Could it be that lanthanides when collectively reported as a summed value (widely referred to as REE) are at relatively high concentrations because extremely high contributions from individual elements? REE elements naturally occur in environmental media such as the soil substrate in which plants and fungi grow in a characteristic pattern (Oddo-Harkins rule), with most of the available literature confirming the extension of this pattern in fungi. Abnormalities therefore need to be examined closely and resolved.

“…For soil substrates, some estimations use absolute (or pseudo-total) concentrations but also other (extractable-labile, mobile, or adsorbed fraction) concentration data (Grawunder and Gube 2018 ; Lipka et al 2018 ). BCF values for La and Ce for both wild and farmed mushrooms show bio-exclusion (i.e., the BCF ratio is < 1) (Aruguete et al 1998 ; Grawunder and Gube 2018 ; Koutrotsios et al 2018 ; Vukojević et al 2019 ; Zocher et al 2018 ; Mędyk and Falandysz 2022 ).…”

“…Cerium was the most abundant REE in forest topsoils that were collected along with mushrooms in Poland/Belarus, Serbia, and Germany contributing 40–44, 33–38, and 42%, respectively to the sum. La was also abundant, contributing 19–21, 22–22, and 20%, respectively contrasting strongly with lutetium, the least abundant REE with contributions of 0.27–0.46, 0.07–0.08, and 0.30%, respectively (Zocher et al 2018 ; Vukojević et al 2019 ; Mędyk and Falandysz 2022 ). The occurrence pattern of REE in the soil is reflected in mushrooms, trees, plants, and other food products (a consequence of the Oddo-Harkins’ order of elemental occurrence), thus maintaining the original abundance patterns (Figs.…”

The increasing and diversified use of rare earth elements (REE) is considered a potential source of pollution of environmental media including soils. This work documents critically overview data on the occurrence of REE in the fruiting bodies of wild and farmed species of edible and medicinal mushrooms, as this was identified as the largest published dataset of REE occurrence in foodstuff. Most of the literature reported occurrences of cerium (Ce) and lanthanum (La), but a number of studies lacked data on all lanthanides. The Ce, La, and summed REE occurrences were assessed through the criteria of environmental geochemistry, analytical chemistry, food toxicology, mushroom systematics, and ecology. Ce and La accumulate similarly in fruiting bodies and are not fractionated during uptake, maintaining the occurrence patterns of their growing substrates. Similarly, there is no credible evidence of variable REE uptake because the evaluated species data show natural, unfractionated patterns in accordance with the Oddo-Harkins’ order of environmental lanthanide occurrence. Thus, lithosphere occurrence patterns of Ce and La as the first and the third most abundant lanthanides are reflected in wild and farmed mushrooms regardless of substrate and show that Ce is around twice more abundant than La. The current state of knowledge provides no evidence that mushroom consumption at these REE occurrence levels poses a health risk either by themselves or when included with other dietary exposure. Macromycetes appear to bio-exclude lanthanides because independently reported bioconcentration factors for different species and collection sites, typically range from < 1 to 0.001. This is reflected in fruiting body concentrations which are four to two orders of magnitude lower than growing substrates. Key points •Original REE occurrence patterns in soils/substrates are reflected in mushrooms •No evidence for the fractionation of REE during uptake by fungi •Mushrooms bio-exclude REE in fruiting bodies Graphical Abstract

Uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements (REEs) are important strategic elements in today’s world with a range of applications in high and green technology and power generation. The expected increase in demand for U, Th, and REEs in the coming decades also raises a number of questions about their supply risks and potential environmental impacts. This review provides an overview of the current literature on the distribution of these elements in different environmental compartments. For example, the processes of extraction, use, and disposal of U-, Th-, and REE-containing materials have been reported to result in elevated concentrations of these elements in air, in some places even exceeding permissible limits. In natural waters, the above processes resulted in concentrations as high as 69.2, 2.5, and 24.8 mg L−1 for U, Th, and REE, respectively, while in soils and sediments they sometimes reach 542, 75, and 56.5 g kg−1, respectively. While plants generally only take up small amounts of U, Th, and REE, some are known to be hyperaccumulators, containing up to 3.5 and 13.0 g kg−1 of U and REE, respectively. It appears that further research is needed to fully comprehend the fate and toxicological effects of U, Th, and REEs. Moreover, more emphasis should be placed on developing alternative methods and technologies for recovery of these elements from industrial and mining wastes.
