“…The effectiveness in contaminant remediation has been widely investigated in mushrooms of the genera Agaricus, Armillaria, Auricularia, Lactarius, Lentunila, Phellinus, Pleurotus, and Polyporus. This interest derives from the remarkable effectiveness of species associated with these genera, which remove pollutants by applying different mechanisms, such as biosorption, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation (Sahithya et al, 2022). In research conducted by (Nesse et al 2024), the effectiveness of absorption of pharmaceutical products by two mushrooms belonging to the genus Agaricus, namely A.bisporus and A. subrufescens, was highlighted, highlighting their potential ability to remove such compounds from circulation.…”

“…Lentinula edodes, popularly known as Shiitake, are one of the most used edible macrofungi in the world for cooking. Furthermore, it is also known for its anticancer, antioxidant, antiaging, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory medicinal properties (Roszczyk et al, 2022;Sahithya et al, 2022). Apart from the characteristics above, L. edodes has also been evaluated for removing pharmaceutical residues emitted into the environment, mainly from water.…”

From the Industrial Revolution, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, there was a significant impact on the environment due to increased emission of environmental pollutants. This problem has seen considerable growth in recent years due to population growth, resulting in further ecosystem changes due to human action. Furthermore, demands for water, electricity, and food have led to increasingly large concentrations of waste being emitted. In this context, bioremediation is an up-and-coming biotechnological alternative to combat the growing emission of pollutants into the environment. From this perspective, basidiomycetes, popularly known as mushrooms, are an effective tool for remediating environmental pollutants. These fungi use different mechanisms in bioremediation processes, such as biodegradation, biosorption, bioaccumulation, and bioconversion. Currently, the remediation potential of mushrooms has been increasingly studied. Therefore, this bibliographic review aims to analyze the literature on the potential of mushrooms in pollutant remediation. At the end of this analysis, it is concluded that macrofungi are a very effective and promising tool for suppressing the emission of environmental pollutants.

“…7 (2023) growing media, colonization as much territory as possible to build up a competitive biomass, complete colonization and primordia formation, and mature mushrooms for producing spores, and the cycle starts again (Cotter 2014). Several reports have been published on mushroom cultivation from different points of view such as the cultivation of mushrooms as a sustainable integrated agriculture model (Ye et al 2023), for mycoremediation (Sahithya et al 2022), supporting selenium in removing mercury from soil (Pereira de Oliveira et al 2023), for biofuel production (Leong et al 2023), and biosynthesis of nanoparticles for removing organic pollutants (Chauhan et al 2023).…”

USHROOM farming is the practice of growing and cultivating various species of mushrooms for food, medicinal, or industrial purposes. It involves creating the ideal environment and conditions for the mushrooms to grow and thrive, such as providing a substrate (a nutrient-rich material on which mushrooms grow), controlling temperature and humidity, and ensuring proper ventilation and lighting.Several innovative applications of mushrooms can be noticed in their farming and cultivation. These applications mainly focus on the medicinal and prebiotic attributes, besides their role in producing food and energy. This review is an attempt to highlight the cultivation of mushrooms and their requirements under different kinds of farming. These farming types may include mushroom-worm system, mushroom-bee farming, smart mushroom farming, forest-mushrooms farming, urban mushroom farming, and mushroom-livestock farming. In this study the condition of cultivation of several mushroom species and their edibility is included. Edible/medicinal mushrooms are well-known for their high content of many beneficial bioactive ingredients for human health such as antioxidants, ergosterols, lectins, phenolics/polyphenolics, polysaccharides, and terpenoids. These bioactives of mushrooms have the potential capability to treat and/or prevent several chronic diseases. The medicinal and prebiotic attributes of mushrooms still need more investigation, and this topic of "mushrooms in medicine" still has several open questions are needed to be answered in the future.

Biosorptive treatment with microbial biomass is regarded as an environmentally friendly and effective way to reduce dye contamination in contaminated aquatic environments. Immobilizing microbial cells for use in this process can significantly improve their effectiveness as biosorbents in the water treatment process. The current investigation searches for a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to decolorization by employing a green biocomposite material sorbent system (ZM@GFC) created by immobilizing fungal cells (Gibberella fujikuroi) on maize tassel tissues to efficiently remove Reactive Yellow 2 (RY2) from contaminated water sources. Batch and dynamic flow tests were performed to evaluate the biodecolorization properties of the newly created immobilized biomaterial as well as the effects of several essential operating conditions factors on the sorption behavior. Biosorption yields of 95.7% and 90.0% in batch and dynamic modes were achieved for experimental dye decolorization. The biosorption of RY2 by ZM@GFC occurred fast and achieved equilibrium within 60 min. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model elucidated the dye biosorption onto ZM@GFC. The Langmuir model provided a more accurate representation of the results than the Freundlich model. At the same time, Redlich-Peterson isotherm demonstrated the best level of agreement with the experimental data. These findings indicate that the biosorption mechanism predominantly involved the formation of a monolayer covering and that the energy properties of the ZM@GFC surface were uniform. The breakthrough capacity at the exhaustion time was 537.32 mg g−1. The predicted cost of generating ZM@GFC was anticipated to be 61.03 USD/kg. The investigations on safe disposal demonstrated that the biosorption process did not generate any secondary pollution. In conclusion, using maize tassel tissue as an immobilized decolorization agent offers a possible method for removing reactive azo dye pollutants from the aquatic medium that is both economical and environmentally benign.
