Samples of different species of mushrooms were collected in the forests contaminated by Chernobyl (ChNPP) accident fallout debris. Sampling sites were located at a distance of 5-200 km from Chernobyl NPP. Transfer factors (TF) for Cs-137 from soil to mushrooms varied from 12 to 5060 nCi kg-1/Ci km-2; TF variability depended on the distance from ChNPP, mushroom species and growth conditions. The highest concentrations of Cs-137 were observed in Paxillus involuvus and Xerocornus badius. These species are suggested as bioindicators of radioactive contamination.
