title: [Role of macromycetes as accumulators of 137Cs in forest ecosystems].
abstract: One of the problems of forest radioecology concerning the role of macromycetes in accumulation of caesium radionuclides in ground ecosystems is discussed in the paper. The main positions of the researchers working in this area are stated, and their arguments relating to the given problem are compared. The findings of the analysis of the literary data on a 137Cs content in fruit bodies and mycelium of fungi are represented. Similar findings on the behaviour of its chemical analog--potassium, studies of fungi physiology and effects of physicochemical processes in soils on the behaviour of this radionuclide are also used when examining the behaviour of 137Cs in fungi.
