Radioactivity of European wild growing edible mushrooms
Original language description
Wild growing mushrooms are widely consumed as a delicacy in several European countries, at level up to several kg per year per capita. Activity concentrations of the natural isotope 40K are usually 800-1,500 Bq kg-1 dry matter (DM). Other natural radionuclides with leading 210Pb and 210Po are of lower importance. Activities of 137Cs from nuclear weapons testing below 1,000 Bq kg-1 DM were commonly reported until 1986. The situation changed dramatically after the accident of Chernobyl nuclear power station in 1986. Activities up to over 100,000 Bq kg-1 DM of 137Cs and to a lesser extent of 134Cs were observed in some edible species in the following years. Commonly, mycorrhizal species accumulate radiocesium more than species with saprotrophic or parasitic nutritional strategy. Xerocomus badius, X. chrysenteron, Suillus variegatus, Rozites caperata, Laccaria amethystina and Hydnum repandum belong among the radiocesium highly accumulating and widely consumed species.
