The bioaccumulation and translocation of Fe, Zn, and Cu in species of mushrooms from Russula genus

Abstract

The concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) in the fruiting body depends on species and vary between 58.83-340.34, 19.70-99.62, and 5.03-9.37 mg/kg for Fe, Zn, and Cu, respectively. The bioaccumulation factor has subunit values for the three studied trace metals, which show the low capacity of these species of mushrooms to accumulate metals if the concentrations in soil increase over the normal threshold for these elements. The high values of translocation factor demonstrate the mobility of Fe, Zn, and Cu in the studied mushrooms.

Elemental profile of edible mushrooms from a forest near a major Romanian city

“…For example, Macrolepiota procera accumulates mainly copper, but it can contain high amounts of Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni, even Cd [2][3][4][5]; Chantarellus cibarius shows preference for Mn, Fe [6]; Boletus edulis is known for its high content of Se, Ag, Mn, and Zn [2,5,7] and Armillariella mellea for iron [2,8]. There are also some species, which are known for their low mineral content (Lactarius spp., Russula spp., Hypholoma fasciculare, Hydnum repandum) [2,4,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14]. Relying on several studies, a review paper highlighted the uneven distribution of the elements in the fruiting body of the mushrooms: the highest concentrations of metals can be found in the sporophore, followed by the other parts of the cap.…”

Correlation between Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Antioxidants in Several Edible Mushrooms Species

“…plant and animal). They are distinguished from chlorophyll plants by the total absence of photosensitizing pigments, hence the inability to produce sugars and starch, starting from the carbonic anhydride present in the atmosphere [1][2][3][4]. The mushrooms have their cell walls made from cellulose, but also from chitin, an insect-specific component.…”
