HEAVY-METALS IN FRUIT BODIES OF MUSHROOMS FROM THE AMURSKY REGION

The contents of Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, Pb and V was determined in 11 widespread species of mushrooms fruit bodies from suburbs of Belog orsk in Amursky region. It was found Zn concentrations in all species exceeded the MPC level for this element 1.25 to 4 times. The hygienic norm of Cu was exeedes 2 to 4 times in Leccinum aurantiacum (Bull.) S. F. Gray, Ressulagrusea (Pers.) Fr., Pholiota. aurivella (Batsch: Fr.) Kumm., Paxillus involutus (Batsch: Fr.) Fr. and Cortinarius trivialis J. Lange, on Cd 7 times in Armillariella mellea (Vahl: Fr.) Sing., P. aurivella and twise in Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) Kumm., C. tri vialis. Content of Pb in spite of collecting of samples along the main road was lower than MPC. Only Lactarius torminosus (Schaeff.: Fr.) Pe rs. can be considered as indicator of the environment quality (for est imation of pollution by Fe, Zn, Mn).
