Abstract :Abstract. Mushrooms are known as indicator organisms since they have properties to absorb  heavy elements and air pollutants. Therefore, determination of natural radioactivity concentrations in them is very remarkable. In this study, the gross alpha and beta activities of 12 different mushroom samples collected from Trabzon (Turkey) are measured by using a gas-flow proportional counter. The measured values of gross alpha and beta concentrations vary from 21 Bqkg-1 to 292 Bqkg-1 and from 175 Bqkg-1 to 1156 Bqkg-1, respectively. Also, the obtained results are evaluated statistically.   Keywords: Mushroom, gross alpha/beta, radioactivity   Özet. Mantarlar ağır elementleri ve hava kirliliğine sebep olan maddeleri soğurdukları için indikatör organizmalar olarak bilinir. Bu nedenle, mantarların doğal radyoaktivitesini belirlemek çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin Trabzon bölgesinden alınmış 12 farklı mantar örneğinin toplam alfa ve beta aktiviteleri gaz akışlı orantılı sayaçla ölçülmüştür. Toplam alfa ve beta konsantrasyonların ölçülen değerleri sırasıyla 21 ile 292 Bqkg-1 ve 175 ile 1156 Bqkg-1 arasında değişmektedir. Ayrıca, elde edilen sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Mantar, Toplam alfa/beta, radyoaktivite
