Abstract
The materials of the study are consisted of Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers., Helvella leucomelaena (Pers.) Nannf. and Sarcosphaera crassa (Santi ex Steud.) Pouz. fungi. Heavy metal content (Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Ni and Co) of the fungi and the soil where they are taken were determined with wet decomposition method using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Result of study showed different heavy metal accumulation patterned of fungi even though they were sampled nearby locations. In parallel to this result, heavy metal content of soil samples were also found to be different.
