METAL CONTENTS IN SOME CORTINARIUS (PERS.) GRAY (CORTINARIACEAE) TAXA FROM TURKEY

摘要

The concentrations of Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu, Bi, Cr, Zn, Al, Fe, Ag, Tl, V, B, Ba, Ni, Co, and In were analysed in wild Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray taxa [C. subvalidus Rob. Henry, C. elagantior (Fr.) Fr., C. flavopallidus (M.M. Moser) M.MMoser, C. melanotus Kolchbr and C. sulphureus Lindgr] from Turkey by ICP-AES equipment. The highest Al and Fe concentrations were determined as 4691 and 3143 mg.kg~(-1) in C. elegantior, respectively. The highest Cr, Cu, and Zn concentrations were determined as 46.29, 44.27 and 70.29 mg.kg~(-1) in C. flavopallidus, respectively. Boron concentration was only detected as 9.82 mg.kg~(-1) in C. subvalidus in which the highest Bi level was also detected as 6.97 mg.kg~(-1). The Tl, V, B, Ba, Co, and In concentrations were not detected in many of studied mushroom samples.
