Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To better understand the transfer of radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) between contaminated logs and shiitake, we utilised stable cesium (133Cs) as a proxy for radiocesium. We first developed a rapid method to collect wood and shiitake samples from logs for 133Cs quantification, and then we collected logs from throughout Japan, inoculated these logs with shiitake spawn and measured the transfer factor (TF) of 133Cs from wood to shiitake at harvest time; the TF of 133Cs was approximately 4.0 on a fresh weight basis. The TF of 133Cs significantly decreased with higher concentrations of K in logs, likely due to competition between 133Cs and K. The nitrogen concentration in logs had no significant effect on the TF. Lastly, we developed a method to cultivate shiitake in the laboratory.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
There is now good evidence that high potassium concentrations in logs could be used as a potential mitigating strategy to reduce the uptake of radiocesium in log-cultivated shiitake. We also established a method to grow shiitake in the lab, creating a new avenue for advancing research in this area.
