P. ostreatus is a very good Se accumulator, reaching 858 mg kg1
when cultivated on substrate enriched with 102 mg kg1 of Se. The
capacity to accumulate Se was verified in Agaricus bisporus when
the mushrooms were irrigated with water plus Se, as these mushrooms
absorbed 52.8 mg kg1 of Se (Spolar, Schaeffer, Beelman, &
Milner, 1999). For L. edodes, Se concentration in the mushrooms
was 356 mg kg1
