Abstract In several series of 262 samples, Higher Fungi, especially from the Tremellales and Gastero-mycetes, were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy on their content of the trace metals manganese and iron. Both elements were found to be present in higher concentrations in some species of the Tremellales and Phallales. In the case of wood-destroying fungi, the Fe-and Mn-contents of the substrates were compared to those of the corresponding fungi. Only the species with the highest level of these metals reached the same contents as their substrates or a poor enrichment. Among the remaining species of the Higher Fungi, only in the case of the epigean Phallales, a possible biochemical role of manganese has been discussed.
