The concentrations of seven trace elements (cadmium, cooper, zinc, lead, chromium, iron and nickel) and two macroelements (calcium and magnesium) were determined in two edible species of mushrooms (Boletus edulis and Hymenochaete rubiginosa) collected from adjacent zones of two urban areas. The concentration of the chemical elements was determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. In the area with high degree of soil contamination the mushrooms samples presented the highest contamination with heavy metals.
