It has been known since the 1970s that differences exist in profile of element content wild-growing mushroom species, although knowledge role species/families as determinants accumulation diverse remains limited. The aim this study was to determine 63 mineral elements, divided into six separate groups fruit bodies 17 species. mushrooms, growing widely ranging types soil composition, were collected Poland 2018. Lepista nuda and Paralepista gilva contained not only highest essential major (531 14,800 mg kg-1, respectively Ca P) trace elements (425 66.3 Fe B) but also a high with detrimental health effect (1.39 7.29 Tl Ba). A several (Al, B, Ba, Bi, Ca, Er, Fe, Mg, Mo, P, Sc, Ti or V) L. nuda, personata, P. and/or Tricholoma equestre belonging Tricholomataceae family suggests such species may be characterised by most effective selected elements. On other hand, mushrooms Agaricaceae (Agaricus arvensis, Coprinus comatus Macrolepiota procera) significant all determined jointly, which higher one is species-dependent. Graphical abstract.
