“…A research conducted by Karadeniz et al, (2010) in Turkey demonstrated that the ranges of 137 Cs activity concentrations in mushroom samples varied from below the detection limit to 4017 4 Bq kg À 1 dw, reaching levels of 32 71 Bq kg À 1 dw in L. deliciosus; these levels were lower than those obtained in this study for the same species (2917 510 Bq kg À 1 dw) (Table 1). These values were found to be consistent in comparison with other countries (Gaso et al, 1998).…”

Nevertheless, data for 134 Cs, 137 Cs, and stable 133 Cs obtained for the same samples of mushrooms available from published literature is little is little (Karadeniz and Yaprak 2010 ; Yoshida et al 2000 ).…”

Numerous species of wild-grown mushrooms are among the most vulnerable organisms for contamination with radiocesium released from a radioactive fallout. A comparison was made on radiocesium as well as the natural gamma ray-emitting radionuclide (40K) activity concentrations in the fruiting bodies of several valued edible Boletus mushrooms collected from the region of Europe and Yunnan Province in China. Data available for the first time for Boletus edulis collected in Yunnan, China, showed a very weak contamination with 137Cs. Radiocesium concentration activity of B. edulis samples that were collected between 2011 and 2014 in Yunnan ranged from 5.2 ± 1.7 to 10 ± 1 Bq kg−1 dry matter for caps and from 4.7 ± 1.3 to 5.5 ± 1.0 Bq kg−1 dry matter for stipes. The mushrooms Boletus badius, B. edulis, Boletus impolitus, Boletus luridus, Boletus pinophilus, and Boletus reticulatus collected from the European locations between 1995 and 2010 showed two to four orders of magnitude greater radioactivity from 137Cs compared to B. edulis from Yunnan. The nuclide 40K in B. badius was equally distributed between the caps and stipes, while for B. edulis, B. impolitus, B. luridus, B. pinophilus, and B. reticulatus, the caps were richer, and for each mushroom, activity concentration seemed to be more or less species-specific.

“…However, locally or regionally, also mushrooms form some other locations in Europe were highly affected (Mietelski et al 2010; Strandberg 2004; Zalewska et al 2016), while in many other sites were much less or little affected (Daillant et al 2013; García et al 2015; Karadeniz and Yaprak 2010; Rakić et al 2014; Turhan et al 2007). From the toxicological point of view, some radioactive compounds other than radiocaesium accumulated by fungi in fruiting bodies can also highly matter, but the number of published data is much less (Kirchner and Daillant 1998; Saniewski et al 2016; Strumińska-Patulska et al 2016).…”

This study, for the first time, presents the results of activity concentration determinations for 137Cs and 40K in a high number (21 species, 87 composite samples, and 807 fruiting bodies) of mushrooms of the genus Boletus from across Yunnan in 2011–2014 and Sichuan (Boletus tomentipes) using high-resolution high-purity germanium detector. Activity concentrations of 137Cs demonstrated some variability and range from <4.4 to 83 ± 3 Bq kg−1 dry biomass in caps and from <3.8 to 37 ± 3 Bq kg−1 dry biomass in stipes, and of 40K, respectively, from 420 ± 41 to 1300 ± 110 and from 520 ± 61 to 1300 ± 140 Bq kg−1 dry biomass. No significant variations were observed regarding 137Cs and 40K activity concentrations among the same Boletus species from different sampling sites. No activity concentrations from 134Cs were detected in any mushrooms. Internal dose rates estimated were from intake of 1 kg of mushrooms per annum for 137Cs range for species and regions from around <0.0031 to 0.047 ± 0.003 μSv, while those for 40K were from around 0.22 ± 0.04 to 1.2 ± 0.1 μSv. The overall intake of 137Cs was low since low contamination was found in Boletus species.
