As arsenic is one of the most hazardous elements due to the carcinogenic risk, the contents of total arsenic in 48 species of wild-grown edible and medicinal mushrooms in China were determined by atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The results showed that the highest content was found in Scleroderma citrinum (1.70 mg kg−1 dry weight, dw), whereas the lowest content was found in Termitomyces eurrhius (0.17 mg kg−1 dw).
