Abstract

Field research on 12 sites in the region of Kicevo valley during the period April 2012 to May 2014 was conducted at different distances from the Thermoelectric Power Plant (TEPP) Oslomej. The research included the determination of the total and extractable concentration of seven heavy metals: nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in soil samples and fungi. A total of 15 species of fungi (Amanita rubescens, Amanita vaginata, Boletus aestivalis, Armillaria mellea, Cantharellus cibarius, Marasmius oreades, Russula cyanoxantha, Suillus granulatus and Suillus luteus, Gymnotus dryophillus, Laccaria laccata, Stereum hirsutum and Trametes hirsute, Amanita pantherina and Hypholoma fasciculare) were analyzed, 11 being terricolous fungi and four lignicolous fungi. In general, analyzed fungi species tend to accumulate Cd, Zn, Cu, and Ni (BAF >1). Most of the species tend to exclude Fe, Mn, and Pb (BAF<1). The highest bioaccumulation potential for Cd has A. pantherina as well as A. mellea, G. dryophilus, and R. cyanoxantha. The contents of total and extractable forms of heavy metals Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Cd in soils were correlated with their content in fruiting bodies of Amanita pantherina.
