I'm uncertain if Cesium-137 will be present at this site, but it certainly has other radioactive waste that could be tested upon.

The EPA would be the POC.

"Mushrooms, the region’s most iconic product, build up especially high concentrations of radioactive cesium. Cesium-137 content in the majority of edible mushrooms in forest litter decreased by 20–30% between 2005 and 2010. But among species whose feeding networks (mycelia) reach deeper into the soil, the amount of cesium-137 increased during the same period as radionuclides migrated into deeper soil layers."

I just had a random and probably invalid idea. For the sake of discussion and possibly new ideas, here it is:

Preface: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/encyclopedia/bioluminescence/?ar_a=1

What if we created a "city of bioluminescence" in and around Fukushima. We could use bioluminescent fungi, bioluminescent algae (dinoflagellates), bioluminescent plants, bioluminescent insects, bioluminescent bacteria, and bioluminescent marine animals. Together, in this wild theory, they might acclamate to the radioactivity and slightly, slowly bioaccumulate the radiation up the food chain in a faster way than Nature would otherwise process the radiation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bioluminescent_organisms

I bet this idea won't work, but if someone can prove the idea incorrect it may lead to new information in new brains.

Where in that article did it mention bioluminescent organism can absorb gamma radiation?

Perhaps i missed it, but the only radiation I saw mentioned was the fact that less than 20% the light created by these orgasnisms generates heat(thermal radiation).:shrug:

Yeah...that's not tenable...  Gomphidius Glutinosus is the best species we know of in terms of remediation of isotopes from fukushima...As I stated before...we could also use the newly discovered melanin producers as a source of abundant melanin for scientists to develop the melanin based injection that makes people resistant to radiation.

62%... quite significant...:strokebeard2:...if we can isolate a substrain with an even higher up-channel capability, then myco-booms on the pacific are one step closer to reality...but how would you deal with the salt environment?

Here are some oysters I am fruiting now for the purpose of spawn production for myco-restoration purposes...

This would be a bioremediation project involving more than one species, but for the record, this species seems highly likely to succeed in a brackish or salt water environment.

According to Stamet's preliminary charts P. Ostreatus doesn't upchannel cesium..So now the question is will P. Eryngii work under similar conditions?

About that human cordyceps concept .. My .02

What I really mean is a strain of fungus that can get caught in our lungs, other orifices, or a skin wound, and do serious damage if not cause fatality because of it already being trained to digest human flesh.  Agree - still far out, but we are dealing with natural selection here, and we are essentially selecting for optimum human flesh digestion

Look up the definitions of saprophytes and parasites; one thrives on dead material, the other on living.
Some saprophytes can take advantage of already weakened living material; these are termed facultative parasites.

I would like to know what it is about melanin that gives it it's light absorbing properties

.. a quick google search yields http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jgd1000/melanin.html .... a spectrum that says melenin absorbs lower wavelengths more than higher wavelengths... I wonder where radiation falls

Technically radiation occurs at all wavelengths. I believe your talking about the radiation that does immediate damage though, in this case they would be shorter wavelengths.

Increase in light frequency has a correlating lowering in wavelength
