Trace element content of Boletus tomentipes mushroom collected from Yunnan, China

The contents of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in eleven fruiting bodies of Boletus tomentipes were determined. The results showed the values of the studied elements decreased in the order: Mg (208–279 mg kg−1) > Fe (106–137 mg kg−1) > Mn (29.5–46.8. mg kg−1) > Zn (18.7–23.1 mg kg−1), > Cu (11.4–15.8 mg kg−1) > Cr (3.36–4.78 mg kg−1) > Pb (1.38–3.88 mg kg−1) > Ni (1.68–3.01 mg kg−1) > Cd (0.16–0.32 mg kg−1) > As (0.10–0.24 mg kg−1) > Hg (<0.06 mg kg−1).
