[Mercury in the country's Bay Bolete (Xerocomus badius) mushrooms].

Total mercury content have been determined in fruiting bodies of Bay Bolete and its underlying soil substrate collected from three spatially distant sites of the country--outskirts of the Mojusz village (Sierakowice Commune, Pomorskie Voivodeship), at the forest inspectorate Turek (Wielkopolskie Voiv.) and near the Lipie village at the Starachowickie forests (Swietokrzyskie Voiv.).

[Content and bioconcentration of mercury by European Blusher (Amanita rubescens) from Northern Poland].

Total mercury content have been determined in 45 fruiting bodies of European Blusher (Amanita rubescens) and soil substrate collected from three spatially distant sites at the Pomorskie Voivodeship in 2006-2007. Mercury analysis carried out was by cold-vapour atomic absorption (CV-AAS) with amalgamation on golden wool. The European Blusher effectively accumulated mercury and median BCF values of this element ranged from 9.
