Biomedical Applications of Nanoparticles Synthesized from Mushrooms

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Nanoparticles

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

Abstract

This chapter aims to distinguish the synthesizing metallic nanoparticles from edible and medicinal mushrooms in terms of so-called “myconanotechnology.” Mycomaterials have been used as a mycoreducer to produce green metallic nanoparticles. Mycomaterials include crude extracts like extracts of fruiting bodies, fungal mycelia and free-cell filtrate, or purified matters like polysaccharides, enzymes/proteins, and polysaccharides–protein complexes. Green chemistry methods have attempted to mycosynthesize AgNPs, AuNPs, FeNPs, SeNPs, CdSNPs, ZnSNPs, and PaNPs using mycological materials by various approaches. The green mushroom nanoparticles (Mushroom NPs) have been investigated as antibacterial, antifungal, anticandidal, antioxidant, anticancer, and antitumor agents. Generally, Pleurotus AgNPs have higher synthesis and wider therapeutic applications among mushrooms. The medical role of all synthesized nanoparticles is due to their unique characteristics such as nanosize, crystalline nature, and ecofriendly agents.
