The aim of this work was to determine the cadmium concentration in mushrooms of the genus Tricholoma spp. (T. columbetta, T. portentosumi, and T. terreum) and in the soil substrate, to compare the distribution of cadmium in the anatomical parts of the cap and stipe, to determine the suitability of the studied mushroom species as a cadmium bioaccumulator, and to evaluate possible health risks associated with the consumption of Tricholoma mushrooms contaminated with cadmium. Sampling of Tricholoma spp. mushrooms and substrate (soil) was performed at nine sites in Croatia, five of which were located in the central region (Brezova gora, Medvednica, Petrova gora, Maksimir, Dugi dol - Karlovac) and four in the coastal region (Ravna gora, Krk island, Labinština, Skrad). Cadmium concentration was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The highest average cadmium concentration (mg kg-1) was found in the species T. portentosum (0.838), followed by T. columbetta (0.834) and T. terreum (0.791). The value of bioconcentration factor were higher than 1, that indicates the selected species of Tricholoma spp. have the potential to accumulate cadmium. Higher cadmium concentrations were found in the caps than in the stpe of all three mushrooms species. The daily cadmium intake (DIC < 0.5) and health risk index (HRI < 1) indicated that consumption of selected species of Tricholoma spp. do not pose a potential health risk. The results of this study are useful to understand the behavior of cadmium accumulation in wild edible mushrooms Tricholoma spp. from Croatia.
