Zusammenfassung

Der Silbergehalt in wildwachsenden und vorwiegend eßbaren, auf dem Gebiet der Woiwodschaften Gdańsk, Elblag und Piła (Nordpolen) in den Jahren 1889–1992 gesammelten Pilzsorten wurde untersucht. Im ganzen wurden 527 Proben von 25 Arten der 6 Familien (Agaricaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae, Russuulaceae) zugehörenden Pilzen untersucht. Von diesen Pilzen waren nurAgaricus campestris undA. augustus stark bioanreichernde Arten mit höchsten Konzentrationen von 35 mg Ag/kg Trockenmasse (1.5–150) und 2.0–6.9 mg/kg. Eine Silberkonzentration von über 1.0 mg/kg Trockenmasse wurde inBoletus aestivalis, Lepista nuda, L. personata und in einigen Exemplaren vonB. edulis, Leccinum scrabum, L. vulpinum, Cantharellus cibarius undCoprinus comatus feststellt.

Abstract

Wild-grown and mostly edible species of higher mushrooms collected in 1989–1992 from the districts of Gdansk, Elblag and Piła (northern part of Poland) have been investigated with regard to their silver content. In total, 527 samples including 25 mushroom species of six families (Agaricaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae andRussulaceae) were examined. Among the fungi examined onlyAgaricus campestris andA. augustus were heavy bioaccumulating species and showed the highest concentrations of 35 mg Ag/kg dry weight (1.1–150) and 2.0–6.9 mg/kg, respectively. Silver concentrations exceeding 1.0 mg/kg dry weight were noted inBoletus aestivalis, Lepista nuda, L. personata, and in some specimens ofB. edulis, Leccinum scrabum, L. vulpinum, Cantharellus cibarius andCoprinus comatus.
