| Resumo: | Through the years, the union between fungi and man has generated different interests based on their medicinal, commercial and food use. The close relationship that macroscopic fungi have with the soil makes them organisms with a high potential for biodegradation of organic matter, the uptake of nutrients and for the absorption of dangerous substances present in the environment such as heavy metals, many of them of toxicological interest. It is due to the multiple reports of the bioaccumulation capacity of these contaminants in macroscopic fungi, that the benefits that these organisms confer on humans could be accompanied by unwanted side effects on their health. This bibliographic review allowed us to observe research focused on bioaccumulation capacity at the international level is extensive, while at the national level it is scarce; on the other hand, the focus on the impact on health is scarce at the international level and null at the national level. |
