COULD FUNGI HELP CLEAN UP POLLUTION? YES โ WITH A FEW CAVEATS. ๐งช๐
Could mushrooms help us tackle some of the pollution weโve created?
Scientists are investigating mycoremediation โ using fungi and their enzymes to transform, break down or retain certain contaminants.
Oyster mushrooms and other fungi have been studied in laboratory experiments involving petroleum-related pollutants and some plastic materials.
But there are important limitations. Results depend on the pollutant, fungal species, environmental conditions and treatment method. Laboratory success doesnโt automatically mean a practical solution in the real world.
Fungi may help with our mess, but they shouldnโt have to do all the bloody cleaning!
