Abstract

It is very essential to break down and clean the environmental pollutants to get rid of polluted atmosphere. When this process is used by either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms it is known as bioremediation. On the other hand, when this process of bioremediation is performed by fungi-based technology to decontaminate the environment, it is known as mycoremediation. It has been proven that especially fungi like mushrooms of phylum Basidiomycota play the main and effective role in this process.
