“…It is interesting to notice that the Cu concentrations in these two species do not change significantly from polluted to nonpolluted regions. In a further work, Kalac et al 8 studied the concentrations of Hg, Cu, Cd and Pb in 34 species of edible mushrooms in the proximity of mercury and copper smelters; the results obtained in this work have a similar pattern to those obtained previously. In both analyzed areas the highest concentrations for Cu and Pb were obtained in Lepiota procera species, as in the present work.…”

“…Excessive accumulation of TM is primarily due to the nature of mushrooms than the other factors (Kalač et al, 1996(Kalač et al, , 2000(Kalač et al, , 2010Svoboda et al, 2006;Petkovšek et al, 2013;Gast et al, 1988). But there were no obvious simple positive relationships between the contents of the metals in fruiting bodies and the contents of total metals in the soil organic layer in unpolluted areas (Kalač, 2001;Petkovšek et al, 2013;Falandysz et al, 1994).…”

Trace elements accumulating capacity of wild mushrooms are discussing in this paper. Metals such as Ag, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, were determined using AAS techniques in samples of fruiting bodies of 30 wild-growing mushrooms species. The concentration factors of elements were calculated. Data analyses have shown that some species of mushrooms have a high selective ability to cadmium and silver despite of negligible concentration of these elements in the substrate. B.edilis accumulated cadmium and silver extremely. There were no obvious relationships between the contents of the observed metals in fruiting bodies and the contents of total metals in the upper layer of soil. But the mass fraction of metals depended of the distance from industrial plants and cities.Mots-clés Keywords trace elements, toxic metals, accumulation, wild mushrooms. RésuméLa capacité des champignons sauvages à accumuler les éléments traces est discutée ici. Des métaux tels que Ag, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, ont été détectés par AAS dans des échantillons de 30 espèces de champignons sauvages (fructi cations). Les facteurs de concentration des éléments traces ont été calculés. L'analyse des données a montré que certaines espèces de champignons ont une capacité d'accumulation très sélective au cadmium et à l'argent, alors que la concentration pour ces éléments est négligeable dans le substrat. B.edilis accumule de façon importante le cadmium et l'argent. Il n'y avait pas de relations évidentes entre le contenu en métaux observés dans les organes de fructi cation des champignons et le contenu en métaux totaux dans la couche supérieure du sol. La fraction massique en métaux est toutefois proportionnelle à la distance aux industries et aux villes.

“…The atmospheric Hg levels at more than 34% of the tested sites in Slovakia exceeded 5 ng/m 3 (Hladíková et al 2001), which is the WHO recommended guideline value. Kalač et al (1996) reported the strong accumulation of heavy metals in the plants in Slovakia. The Hg concentration in assimilatory organs of the forest trees from Slovakia ranged up to 1.61 µg Hg/g (Maňkovská 1996).…”

Concentrations of methylmercury (MeHg) and total mercury (Hg total ) were investigated in green leaves of herbs, deciduous and coniferous trees in 9 sites in Slovakia (the transect Žiar nad Hronom -Vtáčnik, Banská Štiavnica, Rudňa-ny). There was evaluated the relevance of plant uptake and the behaviour of transfer-factors. The MeHg and Hg total in leaves of plants from the contaminated sites in Rudňany (up to 3.21 and 802 ng Hg/g, respectively) were an order of magnitude larger than those from other sites, reflecting the strong Hg contamination in Rudňany's plants. The MeHg and Hg total concentrations in leaves (up to 0.285 and 55 ng Hg/g, respectively) from the transect Žiar nad Hronom -Vtáčnik and Banská Štiavnica may be regarded as uncontaminated. The green leaves from Rudňany showed very low transfer-factors (up to 0.09) compared to the transfer-factors from the transect Žiar nad Hronom -Vtáčnik (up to 1.58), and thus indicated the relevance of Hg translocation from soils to leaves on contaminated sites. Generally, much higher MeHg concentrations in leaves of Corylus avellana L., Quercus polycarpa Schur. and Achillea millefolium L. as compared to the other plant species indicate species specific effects that is also confirmed by increased transfer coefficients for relevant leaves (up to 3.48, 2.51 and 0.35, respectively). The transfer-factors can bring up the species specific differences in the Hg uptake by plants.
