Man-made radionuclides can be derived from all the various elements, either as fission
products or as activation products. Fungi have been shown to take up naturally occurring as …

[en] Some species of forest fungi strongly accumulate radionuclides, especially
radiocesiums, which makes their use as bioindicators possible. Methodological precautions …

The fungi play a significant role in the biological turnover of elements and in the migration of
elements along the food chain in ecosystem. Thus, when attempting the use of wild animals …

Following the development of nuclear weapons and the subsequent evolution of nuclear
energy-generating industries, there has been considerable concern regarding the safe …

Radionuclides in the environment are one of the major concerns to human health and
ecotoxicology. The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant renewed interest in the …

Fungi have up to now generally been used as bioindicators of radiocaesium in terrestrial
ecosystems. However there is little knowledge about the behaviour of other man-made …

Since summer 1987, the distribution of radiocaesium in three different coniferous forest soils
in South Bavaria and the radiocaesium concentration in mushrooms has been investigated …

Cs into fungal hyphae ranges from 44 (Fusariumsp.) to 276 (Mycena polygramma) nmol Cs
gdry weight h (Clint et al., 1991; Dighton et al., 1991). In nature, the species-specific …

Mushrooms are known to be bioaccumulators of radionuclides, but little is known about their
distribution within the fruiting bodies or the influence of the degree of maturity on uptake. We …

Fungi are one of the most important components of forest ecosystems, since they determine
to a large extent the fate and transport processes of radionuclides in forests. They play a key …
