Uranium content in macrofungi
Kubrová, Jaroslava ; Borovička, Jan (advisor) ; Řanda, Zdeněk (referee)
In the leading part of this work I presented general information on the kingdom of fungi and fungal ecology focused on marofungi (macromycetes). Furthermore, I reviewed the phenomenon of trace elements accumulation in macrofungal fruit-bodies, particularly focused on uranium and its biogeochemistry. In the experimental part, results of my own research are presented. I determined concentrations of uranium, thorium, silver and lead by use of HR- ICP-MS and ENAA. The macrofungal samples were collected 1/ in clean areas with diverse geological bedrock, 2/ in uranium-polluted area in vicinity of Příbram (Central Bohemia, Czech Republic). Furthermore, selected trace elements were determined also in underlying soils by use of the both analytical methods. For investigation of trace elements mobility, the BCR sequential extraction was applied.

Macromycetes of Řevnice neighborhood
Marhoulová, Eliška ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
This thesis is a summary of basic information about macromycetes, their particular way of life and identification cognitive characteristics. It also includes processing research areas Hřebeny - Brdy between Dobřichovice and Řevnice. The research results are applied in primary school instruction. As a part of this work is the proposal excursion to this area and trail design. Key words: macromycetes, mushrooms, Brdy

Interactions of macrofungi and trace elements in soils
Cejpková, Jaroslava
This PhD thesis follows my master's thesis, which I focused on the problem of uranium determination and content in macrofungal fruit-bodies (the results have been published, Appendix 1). Macrofungi apparently do not accumulate uranium in fruit-bodies but as other studies suggested major roles of fungi in environmental geochemistry of uranium, I hypothesized possible accumulation of uranium and other elements in ectomycorrhizae. I therefore decided to continue the research and focus on investigation of trace elements in ectomycorrhizae. As I had opportunity to use a variety of analytical methods, I also participated in other studies in the field geomycology and the results are included in this thesis. In response to alarmist reports in Czech media, I focused on activity and distribution of radiocaesium in fruit-bodies of Boletus badius. As demonstrated in Appendix 2, the fruit- bodies of this species do not represent a health risk for mushroom consumers. Distribution of mycelium of saprotrophic Agaricus bernardii in a soil profile in Prague was investigated by use of molecular methods (PCR with specific primers). The results have shown that the mycelium reaches the depth of 30 cm. Lead isotopic composition of fruit- bodies suggests lead can be accumulated from soil depth of 13-17 cm (Appendix 3)....
