  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Microbial Nanobionics

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

For many years, fungi have been considered as a high-potential biofactory for the production of nanoparticles based on their fast growth and high yield. Of a different fungal group, edible mushrooms have been given more attention as a biofactory based on their generally regarded as safe (GRAS) status according to the FDA. Therefore, many types of mushrooms have been widely employed for the production of nanoparticles, such as those belonging to Agaricus, Ganoderma, Pleurotus, Schizophyllum, Cordyceps, and Trametes species. This chapter reviews in detail the biosynthesis and new processes applied for the production of nanomaterials using mushrooms, with a special focus on the factors affecting the biosynthesis and characterization of the nanoparticle. In addition, more attention was given to the recent trend and potential medical applications of metal nanoparticles derived from mushrooms. Furthermore, other applications of mushroom metal nanoparticles in the environment and agriculture have also been highlighted in this review.
