Humboldt. Mycoremediation. Mycoremediation is a form of bioremediation, the process of using fungi to degrade or sequester contaminants in the environment. Stimulating microbial and enzyme activity, mycelium reduces toxins in-situ. Some fungi are hyperaccumulators, capable of absorbing and concentrating heavy metals in the mushroom fruit bodies. There are many factors that affect the rate and ability for mushrooms to break down toxins, the first of which is the physical nature of the hydrocarbons. Generally, contaminants that are molecularly simpler are easier to break down than more complicated ones. Temperature also controls the rate at which contaminants are broken down. In an experiment conducted in conjunction with Dr. In 2007 a similar method was used in San Francisco. Mycofiltration is a similar process, using fungal mycelia to filter toxic waste and microorganisms from water in soil.
