Abstract

The present work is an overview of the levels of contamination of 92 macromycetes by 15 metals. Data were collected around Paris (France) in 1989 and 1990. A progressive approach involving the use of univariate followed by multivariate statistical analyses allowed to fully exploit the resulting data matrix. Thus, conclusions regarding the origin of the metals, the toxicological implications and the possible use of mushrooms as environmental markers of pollutions are drawn.
