Who can test my wild mushrooms from Washington state?

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2011-04-16 10:58

My family is going hiking on Sunday not far from Seattle. We plant to pick some wild mushrooms and would like to have them tested for Cesium 137.

If I ship to Berkeley will you guys test them? If not where would be a good place to get them tested?
