A German study showed that mushrooms collected from 1986 to 1988 had radiocaesium contents that were 8.3 to 13.6 times greater than mushrooms collected before the accident in 1985. [58] This caesium-sequestering effect is caused by a brown pigment , the polyphenol compound norbadione A , which is related to a family of mushroom pigments known ...
