Edible mushrooms ( Boletus tropicus and Boletus granulatus ) were comparatively analyzed for eight essential elements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Values obtained for Fe and Mn were three times higher in B. tropicus than in B. granulatus , whereas similar values were obtained with both species for K, Ca, Zn, Mn and Cu. No Co was detected in the samples analyzed.
