Mycoremediation (from ancient Greek μύκης (mukēs), meaning "fungus" and the suffix -remedium, in Latin meaning 'restoring balance') is a form of bioremediation in which fungi-based technology is used to decontaminate the environment. Fungi have been proven to be a very cheap, effective and environmentally sound way for helping to remove a wide array of toxins from damaged environments or wastewater. The toxins include heavy metals,persistent organic pollutants, textile dyes, leather tanning industries, petroleum fuels, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, pesticides and herbicide^[1], in land, sweet water and marine environments. The byproducts of the remediation can be valuable material themself, such as enzymes (like laccase^[2]), edible or medicinal mushrooms^[3], making the remediation process even profitable.
