Selected elements in Brown Birch Scaber Stalk Leccinum scabrum.
A survey of 26 metallic elements and metalloids such as Ag, Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Se, Sr, Tl, V and Zn was carried out using ICP-MS, ICP-OES, HG-AAS and CV-AAS in the caps and stalks of edible mushroom Brown Birch Scaber Stalk collected from two lowland and one mountain sites in Poland. Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mo, Pb, Rb, Se, V and Zn occurred in greater concentration in the caps than stalks of Brown Birch Scaber Stalk, and opposite situation was for Tl and Na. Brown Birch Scaber Stalk collected from the site in Sudety Mountains did contain Al, Ba, Cs, Fe, Ga, Ni, Pb, Sr and V in significantly greater concentration when compared to specimens collected from the lowland sites, and what imply on significance of geological origin and/or soil substrate pollution impacting on mineral composition of this mushroom species. The results provide useful environmental and nutritional baseline level information on mineral composition of Brown Birch Scaber Stalk from unpolluted sites.
