| bioconcentration factors and trace elements bioaccumulation in sporocarps of fungi collected from quartzite acidic soils. | the content of 19 metals (al, v, cr, co, ni, cu, zn, ga, rb, sr, zr, nb, cs, ba, ce, pb, th, u and nd) was investigated in 15 edible species of phylum basidiomycota collected in an area with quartzite acidic soils in a province of the central spain. the study explores the differences in metal accumulation in relation to fungal species, and the results were related to metal content in soil through the determination of bioconcentration factors. regarding the highest concentrations, zn, al, cu and ... | 2010 | 20859702 |
| Trace metal contents in wild edible mushrooms growing on serpentine and volcanic soils on the island of Lesvos, Greece. | The objectives of this survey were (1) to assess for the first time the Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn contents in wild edible mushrooms (Russula delica, Lactarius sanguifluus, Lactarius semisanguifluus, Lactarius deliciosus, Suillus bellinii) from the island of Lesvos, (2) to investigate the metals' variability among the species, as well as in relation to the chemical composition of the underlying soil, comparing mushrooms collected from volcanic and serpentine substrates and (3) to estimate ... | 2011 | 22172519 |
