Table 3 Removal of pollutants by biomass of mushroom using biosorption process
From: Mushroom as a product and their role in mycoremediation
S. no | Mushroom spp. | Pollutants | Remarks | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Agaricus bisporus, Lactarius piperatus | Cadmium (II) ions | Wild L. piperatus showed higher removal efficiency on Cd(II) ions compared to the cultivated A. bisporus | Nagy et al. ([2013]) |
2 | Fomes fasciatus | Copper (II) | Mushroom is efficient in biosorption of Cu (II) ions and hot-alkali treatment increased their affinity for Cu (II) ions | Sutherland and Venkobachar ([2013]) |
3 | Pleurotus platypus, Agaricus bisporus, Calocybe indica | Copper, Zinc, Iron, Cadmium, Lead, Nickle | Mushrooms are efficient biosorbent for the removal these ions from aqueous solution | Lamrood and Ralegankar ([2013]) |
4 | Flammulina velutipes | Copper | Mushroom compost used as biosorbent for removing copper ions from aqueous solution | Luo et al. ([2013]) |
5 | Pleurotus tuber- regium | Heavy metals | Pleurotus tuber-regium biosorb the pollutant heavy metals from the soil artificially contaminated with some heavy metals | Oyetayo et al. ([2012]) |
6 | Pleurotus ostreatus | Cadmium | Mushroom possess biosorption capacity and mechanism of biosorption was observed | Tay et al. ([2011]) |
7 | Pleurotus sajor-caju | heavy metal Zn | Mushrooms biosorb the heavy metals | Jibran and Milsee Mol ([2011]) |
