If it gets into the upper portion of the plant, would it also likely transfer to seeds? Roughly what sort of concentration would we expect in relation to the concentration in the leaf/stem? I'm not a chemist yet…just a gardener…sorry if I've phrased the question poorly. Planning to test, regardless, to verify anything theoretical. Just need a plan of action for contaminated plants – wondering if they're salvageable at all.
Had a little accidental photoremediation. Thanks for the great information.
According to this video it would seem mycorrhizae increases the ability of the plant to translocate heavy metals into upper plant material. Does the possibility of heavy metal translocation outweigh the benefits provided by mycorrhizae?
Doesn’t say how to test for them tho? Which what you advertised!

The water from our well comes out at around 8.5ph, I keep scratching my head as to why my plants aren't dead, lol!
Really interesting, thank you!
