Contents of Hg, Pb, Cd, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Co and As have been determined spectrometrically in fruiting bodies of 109 wild and two cultivated macrofungi specimens. The specimens of macrofungi were collected from the East Black Sea region in Turkey. The habitat, edibility and the distributions of the taxa to the families are listed.
