J. Falandysz and A. FrankowskaUniversity of Gdansk, Department of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, 18 Sobieskiego St., 80-952 Gdansk, Poland
Abstract
To understand pollution picture with mercury and to examine suitability of King Bolete Boletits edulis Bull.:
Fr. as possible bioindicator the total mercurv concentrations were determined both in the fruiting bodies and
underlying soil substrate collected from various regions of Poland. There were quite large spatial variations of mercury
concentration and some seasonal also were noted. Mercury content of the caps exceeded that of stalks (p
<0.05), Nvhile
Hg BCF values varied between 9 and 40, and 4 and 40, respectively.
