title: Transport of radiocesium in mycelium and its translocation to fruitbodies of a saprophytic macromycete.
abstract: We present a new protocol to study fluxes of radionuclides and other xenobiotics in saprophytic fungi. This simple method has successfully been used to evaluate transport of radiocesium in hyphae of Pleurotus eryngii and its translocation to fruitbodies.
