경기도내 유통되는 식용 버섯류의 방사능 안전성을 확보하기 위해, 버섯 종류별, 원산지별 샘플을 수거하여 방사능 오염도를 분석하였다. 버섯류 10종(표고버섯, 느타리버섯, 새송이버섯, 양송이버섯, 팽이버섯, 상황버섯, 차가버섯, 목이버섯, 영지버섯, 송이버섯) 총 284건을 수거하여 방사능 검사를 수행하였다. 인공방사성물질인 131I, 134Cs 와 137Cs의 방사능 농도는 감마선 측정 장비로 분석하였다. 모든 버섯 샘플에서 131I과 134Cs은 MDA 값 이상에서 검출되지 않았다. 그러나 국내산 204건 중 총 6건(표고버섯 3건, 영지버섯 1건, 송이버섯 2건)에서 137Cs 이 0.21~2.58 Bq/kg 검출되었고, 수입산 80건 중 총 38건 (차가버섯 22건, 상황버섯 14건, 표고버섯 1건, 송이버섯 1건)에서 137Cs이 0.21~53.79 Bq//kg 검출되었다. 그리고 차가버섯을 이용한 가공품 10건에서는 건조 차가버섯에 비해 평균 2배 이상의 137Cs가 검출되었고, 최고 123.79 Bq/ kg이 확인되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 식품 안전 확보를 위해 일부 수입 버섯류와 가공품에 대한 방사능검사 강화와 함께 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다 하겠다.

To ensure food-safety of mushrooms from radioactive contamination, edible mushroom samples distributed in Gyeonggi province in Korea were collected according to species and country of origin. A total of 284 mushrooms, belonging to 10 species (Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Agaricus bisporus, Flammulina velutipes, Phellinus linteus, Inonotus Obliquus (Chaga), Auricularia auricula-judae, Ganoderma lucidum and Tricholoma matsutake) were subjected to radioactivity testing. The concentration of artificial radionuclides, 131I, 134Cs, and 137Cs, was analyzed using gamma-ray spectrometry. 131I and 134Cs were not detected more than MDA value from all samples. Among 204 domestic mushrooms, however, 137Cs were detected in 0.21~2.58 Bq/kg from six cases (3 Lentinula edodes, 1 Ganoderma lucidum and 2 Tricholoma matsutake), whereas 137Cs were detected in 0.21~53.79 Bq/kg from 38 cases (22 Inonotus Obliquus(Chaga), 14 Phellinus linteus, 1 Lentinula edodes and 1 Tricholoma matsutake) among 80 imported mushrooms. In addition, average concentration of 137Cs in 10 Chaga mushroom-processed products was more than twice as much as dried Chaga mushroom, and maximum concentration was 123.79 Bq/kg. Results suggest that radioactivity monitoring system for imported mushrooms and mushroom-processed products should be continuously intensified to secure food-safety in Korea.
