Enjoy the headline. I did.

Bebop from TMNT is real?!
Fallout anyone?

Why/how does it concentrate in truffles?
Could truffles be used to extract the radioactivity from the environment?
The paper the article references
pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.est.3c03565
Would be interested to see how that compares to coal
The cesium leeches into the soil and it’s absorbed by the truffles. They wouldn’t save us in a nuclear war. This is just where the radioactivity accumulates.
Could it aid in clear up in places like Ukraine and Japan?
I doubt it, but this is not my area of expertise.
Truffles are pretty rare (which is why we use pigs to find them) but maybe another kind of fungi could work?
The radioactivity has been towed from the environment.

Never thought I'd hear/read the words "radioactive" and "wild boars" used that way together.
Oh uh, I hope Cody Showdy doesn’t find out about it.
Cody’s gonna freak.
