Abstract
Inorganic ion analyses were made on the mycelia and spores of five fungi: Linderina pennispora, Aspergillus niger, Spicaria elegans, and Penicillium claviforme and Penicillium roqueforti. The concentration of mineral elements in spores and mycelia of the five fungi varied with each element. The amount of Cu was consistently higher in spores than in mycelia. Zinc concentrations were higher in mycelia than in spores with the exception of A. niger. The concentration of Mg was higher in mycelia than in spores of the five species with the exception of L. pennispora. As with Mg, K concentrations varied considerably.
