“…Beneficial fungi, including the Trichoderma species, are integral components of the decomposer microflora population, which plays a vital role in bioconcentration, decontamination, and even degradation/removal of the xenobiotics added to the ecosystem due to intentional and/or unintentional incorporation of a variety of contaminants. This removal or decontamination is referred to as 'bioremediation' and involves the use of microbial enzymes to convert toxic metal compounds into nonhazardous chemicals [26]. In a research report, T. viride exhibited the ability to break down and use nitrogenous (trinitrotoluene, TNT) explosives at doses of 50 and 100 ppm as the N-source to meet the nitrogen requirements for normal development [27].…”

Traditional nanoparticle (NP) synthesis methods are expensive and generate hazardous products. It is essential to limit the risk of toxicity in the environment from the chemicals as high temperature and pressure is employed in chemical and physical procedures. One of the green strategies used for sustainable manufacturing is microbial nanoparticle synthesis, which connects microbiology with nanotechnology. Employing biocontrol agents Trichoderma and Hypocrea (Teleomorphs), an ecofriendly and rapid technique of nanoparticle biosynthesis has been reported in several studies which may potentially overcome the constraints of the chemical and physical methods of nanoparticle biosynthesis. The emphasis of this review is on the mycosynthesis of several metal nanoparticles from Trichoderma species for use in agri-food applications. The fungal-cell or cell-extract-derived NPs (mycogenic NPs) can be applied as nanofertilizers, nanofungicides, plant growth stimulators, nano-coatings, and so on. Further, Trichoderma-mediated NPs have also been utilized in environmental remediation approaches such as pollutant removal and the detection of pollutants, including heavy metals contaminants. The plausible benefits and pitfalls associated with the development of useful products and approaches to trichogenic NPs are also discussed.
