“…Since the depth from which mushroom mycelium takes up elements and nutrients is mostly restricted to 10–12 cm (Borovička, Konvalinková, et al, 2019 ), we assumed that the volume of soil affected by the uptake can be approximated as a flat cylinder with both height and diameter of 11 cm (other shapes could be assumed but they do not make much difference). We also assumed that the average specific gravity of soils would be 2.70 g/cm 3 (typically specific gravity of soils is in the range of 2.60–2.80 g/cm 3 ; Dhir et al, 2018 ). This way, we came to the weight of soil affected by an average X. chrysenteron mushroom to be 2.77 kg.…”

We conducted a study of elemental compositions of Xerocomellus chrysenteron samples accompanied by samples of related substrate soils. All samples were collected during the harvesting seasons 2021 and 2022 from three forested sites almost unpolluted by recent human activities and underlain by contrasting bedrock (granite, amphibolite, and serpentinite). Elements such as Ag, Cd, K, P, Rb, S, Se, and Zn were the main elements enriched in the mushroom’s fruiting bodies relative to the substrate. Concentrations of most elements in mushrooms were not site-dependent, with only Ag, As, Rb, and Se concentrations significantly depending on the bedrock composition. Some elements analyzed in mushrooms displayed temporal features, but such features were not systematic and varied for each element. Most analyzed elements were distributed unevenly within the mushroom’s fruiting bodies, with apical parts generally enriched in mobile elements. Mushrooms influenced concentrations of Ag, Cd, K, and Rb and a few other elements in the substrate via uptake, but such influence was very limited and can be responsible for only 2.5–11.5% of total depletion of the affected substrate in the named elements.
