As a result of the Chernobyl accident, Mushrooms and wildlife feeding on them are still showing elevated levels of radioactive Caesium-137 in the Bavarian Forest and other parts of Bavaria. These levels are still monitored closely, even though they aren't considered dangerous anymore. Still, they are beyond the levels required by food safety standards.
