Munich: Certain varieties of wild mushroom in Bavaria are continuing to show traces of radioactive caesium-137, more than 30 years after the Chernobyl disaster, radiation monitoring officials reported on Wednesday. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) listed the varieties affected as the sweet tooth, or hedgehog, mushroom, the woodwax and the bay bolete among others.
“In extreme cases, a single meal of these mushrooms contains more caesium-137 than that consumed from other agricultural foodstuffs in an entire year,” BfS President Inge Paulini said. She urged mushroom gatherers to avoid mushrooms from badly affected regions. (dpa)
