Abstract
Although ranging among the most expensive gourmet foods, it
remains unclear whether Burgundy truffles (Tuber aestivum) accumulate
radioactivity at a harmful level comparable to other fungal species. Here, we
measure the 137Cs in 82 T. aestivum fruit bodies from
Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and Hungary. All tested specimens reveal
insignificant radiocaesium concentrations, thus providing an all-clear for
many truffle hunters and cultivators in large parts of Europe as well as the
subsequent chain of dealers and customers from around the world. Our results
are particularly relevant in the light of ongoing efforts to cultivate
Burgundy truffles, as well as the fact that several forest ecosystems are
still highly contaminated with 137Cs, for which mushrooms are one of the
main pathways to human diets.
