Macro and trace mineral constituents and radionuclides in mushrooms: health benefits and risks.

TL;DR: Data on macro and trace elements and radionuclides in edible wild-grown and cultivated mushrooms is reviewed and updates and the problem of erroneous data on mineral compounds determined in mushrooms is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of fungi in the transfer and cycling of radionuclides in forest ecosystems.

TL;DR: An overview of the role of fungi regarding the transfer and cycling of nutrients and radionuclides in soil and potential long-term change is given, with special emphasis on mycorrhizal symbiosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentrations of alkali and alkaline earth elements in mushrooms and plants collected in a Japanese pine forest, and their relationship with 137Cs

TL;DR: In this article, stable Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Al were determined in 29 mushrooms and 8 plants collected from a Japanese pine forest.
Journal ArticleDOI

137Cs availability for soil to understory transfer in different types of forest ecosystems.

TL;DR: The vertical distribution of 137Cs activity, percentage of exchangeable radiocaesium in each horizon of litter and soil, as well as distribution of root systems (mycelia) over the soil profile are key factors governing variations in the availability of 137C for transfer to all forest understory components.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of 137Cs transfer to fungi and consequences for modelling environmental transfer

TL;DR: A review of the published literature describing 137 Cs transfer to fungi was carried out, summarising the collated data to determine factors controlling transfer and identify an appropriate modelling approach to predict future contamination as discussed by the authors.

Accumulation of radiocesium in basidiomycetes collected from Japanese forests

TL;DR: The 137Cs concentrations in mycorrhizal fungi tended to be higher than those in saprophytes, although the concentration range of each type varied widely, and high concentrations in several Hebeloma species, ammonia fungi, were observed.

Ground Depositions and Air Concentrations of Chernobyl Fallout Radionuclides at Munich-Neuherberg

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the observed radionuclide composition of the fallout and the time course of ground deposition and air concentration at the site of the Gesellschaft für Strahlenund Umweltforschung (GSF) at Neuherberg, 10 km north of Munich.

Radiocesium concentrations in mushrooms collected in Japan

TL;DR: Habitat of mycelium seemed to be one of the most important factors controlling radiocesium concentration in mushrooms.

Uptake of natural and man-made radionuclides by lichens and mushrooms

TL;DR: Due to the large absorbing surface of the mycelium that grows in the upper parts of the soil mushrooms take up higher amounts of137Cs and40K than lichens, but only the long-lived radionuclides125Sb and60Co could be measured; but not the short-lived fission-products144Ce,95Zr and95Nb which probably decayed before absorption into the my celium.

Uptake and accumulation of 137Cs by upland grassland soil fungi: a potential pool of Cs immobilization

TL;DR: It is estimated that the fungal component of the soil could immobilize the total radiocaesium fallout received in upland grasslands following the Chernobyl accident.
