Sales ban prolonged on wild mushrooms due to nuke crisis

Photo taken on Oct. 23, 2015, shows "kishimeji" or a type of beech mushroom growing in the wild on a mountain in Inawashiro, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Wild mushrooms in the town, about 80 kilometers west of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, were traditionally an important source of income for local farmers in autumn, but they remain banned from the market due to fears of radioactive contamination.
