Summary

The mercury content of various parts of single fruit-bodies of theYellow Bolete Boletus edulis (n=26), the Field-MushroomAgaricus campester (n=23) and ofAgaricus silvicola (n=17) was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy. In each species the lowest mercury content was found in the stem (x=1,96-3,21 mg/kg dry wt.), whereas the caps contained significantly more mercury (x= 4,19-6,97 mg/kg dry wt.). The highest mercury content was found in the gills and tubes (x=4,85-8,77 mg/kg dry wt.), which contained significantly more mercury then the flesh of the caps (x= 3,11-5,60 mg/kg dry wt.). Young mushrooms seemed to contain more mercury then older ones.

Zusammenfassung

Bei Steinpilzen, Wiesenchampignons und Waldchampignons war der Quecksilbergehalt am niedrigsten im Stiel; die Pilzhüte enthielten signifikant mehr Quecksilber, wobei der Quecksilbergehalt der Lamellen-bzw. Röhrenschicht signifikant höher lag als der des Hutfleisches. Junge Pilze schienen mehr Quecksilber zu enthalten als ältere.
