Description

A collaborative study to evaluate uptake of 137Cs as well as trace-, minor-, and main elements in morels (Morchella esculenta) from various habitats in Germany was undertaken by the help of active mushroom collectors in Germany (http://www.pilzschule.de/). 137Cs determined by gamma spectrometry was found in all specimen and followed the expected post-Chernobyl distribution. Elements, determined by prompt gamma and instrumental NAA showed large variations without clear pattern distributed across the country. (author)
