Hi
A collegue gave me the following reference concerning Radioactivity,
Mushrooms and Chernobyl:
Vasser, Hrodzyns'ka and Lyuhin
(Kholodnyi Inst. Bot. Acad. Sci. Ukr., Kiev)
UKR BOT ZH 49(5): 79-86 1992.
In Ukr. with english summary.
Gamma spectral analysis of 39 species of wild and cultivated
macromycetes in the territory of Ukranian Polessie.
( parts deleted etc etc.)
(about edible fungi:)
high levels of contamination prove a necessity to stop gathering and
laying-in in the studied region.
Thus it's not advisable to collect mushrooms in the ukraine.
