Abstract
Nanoparticles of mycobial origin, like mushrooms, can be used in the cleanup of wastewater generated from polluting sources and are found to be potential bioremediation agents. Mushrooms like Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus subrufescens, Coprinus comatus, Ganoderma lucidum, Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus citrinopileatus, and Pleurotus sajor-caju have all been found to have the capability to break down hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and xenobiotics in industrial wastewaters. The mycobial nanotechnology involving nanoparticles obtained from commonly growing species like P. citrinopileatus, P. sajor-caju, Agaricus spp., L. edodes, G. lucidum, etc. cultivated on locally available agro-waste can help in enhanced exposure to noxious agents in polluting water and acceleration in bioremediation process.
