Міцелій Сantharellus cibarius, Аmanita muscaria, Leccinum aurantiacum та Sarcodon imbricatus як геобіонт та інкорпоратор 137Cs

Abstract

The functions of the mycelium of ectomycorrhizal fungi Cantharellus cibarius, Amanita muscaria, Leccinum aurantiacum, and Sarcodon imbricatus as a geobiont and 137Cs incorporator in soddy-podzol forest soils of Ukrainian Polyssia are shown. The total 137Cs activity concentration allocated in the mycelium of the mentioned fungal species was found to be 4.0–21.0% of the total activity of the radionuclide in soil down to a depth of 10 cm, when the mycelium biomass content in soil equals 0.17–0.77 g per 100 g of soil.
