Journal: Bulletin of the State Nikitsky Botanical Gardens
Year: 2022

Antioxidant status and selenium accumulation by 18 macromycetes species of the Mountainous Crimea was investigated. Total antioxidant activity of 5 families’ representatives composed ranges of 23.9 - 43.3 mg GAE/g d.w. for Boletaceae, 13.0-25.0 mg GAE/g d.w. for Russulaceae, 13.5-20.9 mg GAE/g d.w. for Tricholomotaceae, 13.8-38.0 mg GAE/g d.w. for Agaricaceae. Selenium accumulation levels reached 423-3352 µg/kg d.w. (Boletaceae), 236-1076 µg/kg d.w. (Russulaceae), 664-1213 µg/kg d.w (Tricholomot
