J AOAC Int. 2014 Mar-Apr;97(2):612-23. doi: 10.5740/jaoacint.12-260.

Abstract

Data on the accumulation of metals in wild edible and inedible macrofungi of the Boletaceae family are discussed here and compared with data reported in literature from northern Italy and other European countries, as well as from China, Brazil, and Africa. The results show a significant difference in the values detected in Sicilian fungi compared to those reported in the literature.
